It depens on what oil you use with them, but it was something like 70 lb/ft. -
Whatever you do, don't use the torque setting for OE stretch boltsOriginally posted by zlobo
The ARP kit should have the recommended bolt torque using the grease they supply. I can't remember the setting off the top of my head, but I do seem to remember you reduce the torque by 5 ft/lbs for alloy heads.91 Modded 3B

If I was you I wouldn`t ask here, I`d ask ARP. No offense to those here with knowledge and skills, but this is not something you want to tighten to " I guess it should be ... " or " I`ve read somewhere that it should be ...."Originally posted by zlobo
Just my 2 centsComment

I have just dug out the installation sheet that came with my stud set and it states:
"Due to the expansion rate of ALUMINIUM, it is recommended that the torque should be 65 ft lbs with ARP MOLY ASSEMBLY LUBRICANT (or ARP THREAD SEALER)".
Just make sure you use the ARP moly lube and that should do it. That is what I did and I have had no problems at all.
