Just looked the thread over, only link that works is for a sealant, and no pictures work.(other then a pic of a empty cylinder and a head on a table)

Some people saying 40,60,85 TQ spec. Then others say 80 or 90 works.


No where does it give a order on the bolts to tighten.

This is what I use for most torque specs and sequence. One thing to remember is the aluminum heads did not come stock on the car so you need to be careful not to over torque bolts like intake,exhaust and other bolts that screw into the head as you can strip them much easier than cast iron. I lowered the torque on intake and exhaust by 8-10 ft lbs to be safe.

Use the arp lube on the head bolts or studs as you torque them. I believe I decided on 85 ft lbs and re torqued them again a day later. With ARP studs.
