you dont use the fsm torque specs for ARP bolts. you only use the torque sequence that is all. the torque for the mains is 75 ft-lbs. in increments of like 10ft-lbs. thats the torque with the arp moly lube. if you dont use the lube they say to do like 80 or 85 ft-lbs. ill let you know exactly tomorrow when im at the shop looking at the spec sheet.

 

yeah, i got it, it's 70 ftlbs with the moly lube.

 

Bed them in first. What I mean is start by going to 40lbs, then 50, then loosen, and go 50 the 70 ft. lbs. Is is to take up any "stretch" in the bolts. You may not have to do this, but we doo this with all our machines and all my automotive customers do this when building their engines.

not to jack your thread but any one know the number for head bolts?

 

just got to the ARP website and look undet sr20de/t for all the stuff hey have available. you can get head studs, main studs, rod bolts, (and camshaft cam bolts to replace factory stretching ones).
