    I'm yanking off my driver's head today, since the rain stopped, and I'm going to take a look-see at what's up with my apparently dropped valve.

    Anyone remember torque for ARP head studs off the top of their head? I sure don't.

    80#, WITH moly lube. Otherwise with 30w motor oil, use these.

    Thanks, Jeff. I suppose I should have looked there first! 110# seems right for the studs, but these are all bolt torque figures...I thought they weren't the same??:Do No:

    Chris, I'm almost sure that ARP says the value needs to be lowered, with their supplied moly lube. I'm not sure though, without re-reading the instructions.:Do No:
