Ok I just want some feedback on the installation of my arps head studs on my rb25.So after reading arp's instructions it says to install the studs hand tight(into the block) and to apply the provided lubricant on the washer studs and washers and to tighten in 3 equal steps to 80ft/lbs per fsm spec. Now what I did is install the studs hand tight into the block with no lube on the block side of the stud, drop the head onto the block, apply lube to the washers and the inside of the nut and torqued it down to 26ft/lbs then 52, and finally 80. I am the paranoidal type so i called arp to verify and he said I installed it correctly but i want a second opinion before I drop the engine into the car. Did I install it correctly?
