Torque amount for a composite head gasket and ARP studs

cre · 05-04-2013, 01:58 AM

ARP fasteners come with a spec sheet, use it. If for some reason you don't have it then call them. Studs are 90+ with moly... I don't recall the precise number but I know it's been posted a number of times in the past (a few times by myself).

EDIT: Go figure, it's in the FAQ and I even posted a link to ARP's PDF of the included instructions... This took all of 10 seconds to find, c'mon guys.

I called ARP and they told me that 90 foot pounds was the torque spec regardless of the type of head gasket being used. That is using their grease of course. For a re-torque they recommend backing off the nut one turn before going forward to final torque.
