either use moly lube or engine oil. tq specs that i used are 25-55-80. if you are using a stock headgasket you need to release after 55 and start over again because you need to compress the stock headgasket. if you are using a metal headgasket, no need to release and torque again.

I suggest that you investigate this further; the torque specs will vary depending on the lubricant used. Moly lube torque specs are different from motor oil torque specs.

Use the torque specs that comes with the instruction, along with their lubricant.

YES--you do not use the factor torques when you use the supplied lubricant with your arp studs.

It is all about friction--do some reading on the ARP website!!!!
