Muskrat Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Well, finally got my engine back from the machine shop, and after waiting almost a week for the piston rings, I'm ready to start assembling my motor. I'll be going with the 55ft/lb rating with oil everyone seems to agree on for the ARP head studs. The spec that I can't seem to find, however, is for the ARP main studs. Does anyone out there have an idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COZY Z COLE Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 If you are refering to the main bearing cap it's 33-40 ft-lb..... LARRY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskrat Posted May 12, 2005 Author Share Posted May 12, 2005 I believe thats the spec for the stock main bolts, I have ARP main studs installed, wouldn't the torque required be different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COZY Z COLE Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Hmmmm. ...... The stock cylinder head bolt is 51-61 ft-lb and you are splitting the diff. and using 55 ft-lb. Using that logic split the diff on the main and use 36 ft-lb... LARRY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2126 Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Muskrat, If in doubt, call ARP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zbloke Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 The ARP head and main stud kits I have going into my engine came with instructions to torque to 60 lb/ft with the ARP molylube Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
