Re: ARP Head Bolt Question

["Craig Williams" <roccolister@hotmail.com>]

Thanks for the responses. The reason I don't have the answer to this
question is that I don't have the instructions. I bought the head from a
friend and it came with the set of ARP head studs. That's why I don't have
the instructions.

Now, I found ARP on the internet and gave them a call after posting my first
message. The guy I was talking to was gruff to say the least. He told me
that I should dip the threads in 30 weight oil and torque them down to 90
ft. lbs.

He was harping on me that really should have the molly lube that they
include with their product, but I probably can't find it anywhere.

If anyone can add to this, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks -- Craig Williams
