Torque Specifications (ARP Head Studs)???

Dejvid1785 · 03-04-2006, 12:57 PM

I'm about to replace my head gasket and was wondering what is the best torque specification for my 88 na supra?, I'm using ARP head studs. Any help would be appreciated!

i would say anywhere between 70 - 90 lbs

stock torque is 55 lbs

I thought when you buy their kit they give you their lube to go with it free, with instructions.
Or maybe you did not buy their kit yet?

If I remember correctly, it's like 85 foot lbs with their lube and higher if you use motor oil, but I would use the lube.

they supply the lube with the kit you buy from them. i think mine was torqued to their specs.

I ended up torquing it to 81lbs with their lube that ARP included. They say 75lbs with their lube or 120lbs with oil. We'll see how it turns out, thanx for the help!
