Then why are you asking how to torque allen head bolts?

And if you don't know how to torque allen head bolts I highly suggest you let a professional work on your vehicle.

I can just see you now trying to remove the stock head bolts with an allen wrench.

And if you are asking how to torque an ARP head stud with an allen hole, the answer is you don't. I feel like I'm talking to a wall but I'll repeat myself once again.

A stud should be installed in a relaxed mode, never crank it in tightly using a jammed nut. The stud should be installed finger tight.

In your case I was suggesting you use an allen wrench to INSTALL the stud with the head lined up on the dowel pins. Try fitting your fingers down in the head enough to turn the studs, not happening. So you "SIMULATE" using your fingers by using an allen wrench to "THREAD" the stud into the block.

Your welcome. Sorry I'm sounding kind of harsh.

If I was done with my car, I'd come up and give you a hand with yours seeing as you are not that far away.
