ARP head stud questions...

[rocco16 at sbcglobal.net (LEF)]

Since the stock head bolts don't use prevailing torque to provide the required clamping force...they use a preliminary torque, then angle setting....how would anyone know what the "torque spec" was on a stock head bolt??

  Hi list,

  I bought a set of slightly used 8V ARP head studs a while back, and
  they didn't come with any instructions/specs.  Anyone know if there's
  a difference in torque specs between these and a stock head bolt?
  Lubricate the nuts/threads?  I suppose when locking two nuts together
  and torquing the studs into the block itself, "tight is tight" is
  fine, right?

  Thanks,

  Mark.
