Dad Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Double nut them, actually you just run them down finger tight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alp247 Posted July 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 I finger tight them last time randy and I think they might have backed out so I had a heafgasket leak. Decided to do to re do it over rather than just re tighten the bolts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TM Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 I have an older set that doesn't have the socket (Allen) heads, and I don't know about torqueing the stud into the block with it. Did you get this from ARP? If you do this, it will pre-load the threads against the bottom of the hole in the block and increase the load on them when you torque the nuts on. The torque value on these studs (or bolts) is based upon stretching them the proper amount, and I think the preload will affect that. Since ARP is concerned with the lube used, I think they want the stud free to rotate so the stretch is between the threads of the stud. I've never heard of them backing out, so I wonder if they were properly torqued. (Including the individual loosening and re-torqueing after a full heat cycle, as prescribed.)

speedyquest Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 TM is right. Also something to definitely watch for is the head stud holes not being clean and dry before installing the studs. If you have oil in them and debris it can effect your torque measurement also. I've never heard of them loosening up on anyone when installed properly. I have a set on my car and they've never given me any issues. I'm only one man though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
