Ok I'm sorry but just leaving it till it blows is retarded.

It's a pain in the a$$ to do this procedure. But it's worth it.
ESPECIALLY, if your $hit isn't already blown.

Order a set of ARP head bolts. NOT studs.

Pull the stockers out in order of the tsrm. 1 at a time.
Replace stock hb's with arp hb's.

Put them in finger tight. Molly them up nicely. A lil bit of that goes a long way.

Get your torque wrench and tighten 1/3rd the way through 3 series of torque sessions. Sorry for the slang.

I did mine in 5 series. 10lb and 5lb incriments once they lock up.

I took my studs to 85 lbs. Anything around 75 is close enough.

I just tend to notice that my rubber slinger likes things more tight than I think within reason. So I went with it.

You can do it in a day if you get back on it and stay there.

Hope this helps.
