ARP head stud questions...

[sukchew at cox.net (Chuck Blue)]

   I have ARP studs in my aba block and as I remember the studs should be 
installed fnger tight.There is no preload on the studs.Molly grease should 
be used on the threads.I don't remember the torque specs on the head nuts.I 
think basicly that the studs are almost loose.Tight is not always 
right.Don't double nut the studs to install them.
Good Luck
