Why does your signature indicate that you've over torqued the hell out of the headbolts? I hope you're a) actually using studs or b) that's a typo or c) for some reason you used a higher torque because you used a poorer lubrcant than the moly ARP supplies.

We already went over this on another thread and its because thats what the instructions said that came with the ARP bolts.

And i was wondering if anyone knows of where i can get gaskets for my tail lights?

No, I don't recall it. I see someone else mentioned the difference in one of your threads in passing... It's unimportant. I checked to see if they've updated their online library (which they FINALLY HAVE!!) and they've made a couple changes to the product line.

The rated spec for their head bolts is now 90ft/lbs for head bolts which is the same as the studs when installed with a LOW friction coefficient lubricant (molybdenum or better). Also of note is that while both types of fasteners formerly required ISO size tooling (which a lot of people didn't realize anyway) the studs formerly used 9/16" 12 point nuts but now use 14mm (very close in size but different nonetheless) and the bolts are 1/2" (I can't find anything about that changing)... A lot of people had a miserable time in the past trying to use 13mm sockets.... I really think the last set of studs I installed were actually 13mm though, so ARP may have gone fully metric.

If you have an older kit which specifies the lower torque spec I recommend you stick with what the included instructions say. I would not torque OEM bolts to 90ft/lbs, but rather ARP's former recommendation of 75ft/lbs.

As I'm going to copy this to the fastener FAQ thread I'll add that the bore and thread is 12mm x 1.25.
