ARP head studs for b series vtec is 65 lbs or 70 lbs, depending on which line of their spec sheet you read. One says 70, then second says due to aluminum exansion, 65 lbs is recommended.
In both cases, that is with ARP lube. 85 is I believe what they recommend for engine oil as a lube. I solve the 65/70 torque question by going 68 lbs. with arp lube. Golden Eagle studs use OEM torque specs
