ARP Head Studs

Share this page

Randall, when I talked to the guy at ARP, I told him which head stud kit (by number) I had. He did look it up, as he told me what engine it fit. The info he gave me concerning the 5X torque procedure seemed pretty generic. Like I mentioned earlier, he could not answer the question as to why the procedure was not mentioned in the instruction sheet.

My take on this is that I don't think it will hurt anything by following this procedure, so I might as well do it.

Makes sense to me. The whole thing about ensuring the lubricant is thoroughly spread on the contact surfaces makes sense to me too, as I know friction plays a huge role in the relationship between torque and clamping force.
