I bought a used set of ARP studs since they're reusable but I didn't get any install specs. I've read that you should grease the studs prior to hand threading them in. Any particular type of grease I should be using? After hand tightening them, removing them, greasing again, and hand tightening them back in, torque greased nuts in factory order to 30lbs, then 45, 55, 65, 75. Some have said 85lbs.

These instructions seem to be for new studs however, are used studs any different?

 

I just finished installing mine about an hour and a half ago. Here ya go.

Hope this helps in some way, shape, or form.

 

I have no clue where I'd find ARP Moly Lube, and 105ft lbs seems alot higher than I've read to do on the forums.

 

omg regular arp head studs suck ass. sell them and get oem head bolts or the mazworx studs or greddys.

 

Haha, thats hilarious since I got them from you in the first place.

 

really? when?

i can't remember the last time i sold ARP's.

probably 2006 before the thread pulling really started becoming evident.

 

IIRC the old ARP instructions call for less torque as well.

FYI, stock head bolts wind up at around 110ft-lbs depending on what you lubed them with.

 

It was a used set, probably a year and a half ago IIRC. I got them with some valve springs and retainers from you.

 

When i sold head studs valve springs and retainers this was mid-late 2006, when I parted out fish bowl. So we're talking two and a half years.

Theyw ere probably Crower titanium retainers, and Comp Pro valve springs, yes/no ?

 

Yep, thats them. Drama in my life put my project on hold and I'm finally getting around to putting it together.
