Message: [QUOTE="SVTDanny, post: 1010219, member: 12467"] For anyone interested in installing ARP studs the proper way, and not this "Make up my own torque for each stud" voodoo half assed bull****, All 20 of my studs are torqued to 275 ft/lbs. The only cracking noise heard was the torque wrench breaking away. Throw the lube packets that ARP sends with the studs in the garbage. Buy one of these cans. The packets are enough for maybe 2 studs each if you are doing it the right way. [ATTACH=full]136958[/ATTACH] Clean out the block holes with brake clean and air until it comes out clear. It took 5 rounds of this on my personal truck. Put the heads on. Spray the studs off with brake clean and blow off with air. Get all the oil and grime off of them from the box. Thread the studs down into the block a little ways. Slather the top of the stud in lube. Thread the stud in until it bottoms out. Slather the washers in lube. Slather the nuts in lube. This is how much lube you need to use on each stud (AKA - a LOT) [ATTACH=full]136959[/ATTACH] Torque them down according to ARP spec sheet, enjoy a properly installed set of studs that isn't warping your heads and that didn't crack your block. Anyone else that wants to join the internet sheep and do this the wrong way, go right ahead. Don't say you were never shown the proper way to install ARP studs though. [/QUOTE]
