Putting ls/vtec together with ARP head studs. Went looking in there site for some specs but came up nothing. Would like to know how much should I tourqe the head studs. Should I go factory spec? (63 ft/lbs.)

i ran into the same problem...i called arp they said it was up to the mechanic...all they said was make sure you do it in at least 2 stages... so i did factory shit and it worked fine. make sure you use the moly lube

NO NO NO!!!

using arp moly lube torque them to 72 ft lbs

or using 30wt motor oil it's like 83 or so ft lbs.

but make sure it is in 2 stages
