Head Torque Specs?
Building a 350:
Edelbrock aluminum e-tec 200 heads
fel pro gaskets
ARP bolts
What torque spec do I use?
The head and gasket 'instructions' say nothing.
The ARP bolts have instructions...that are confusing and contradictory. They say to use ARP moly, no other moly, and to torque to 65 ft lbs, but with alum heads, to torque to 60.
If using motor oil on the threads, then torque to 85 ft lbs. No mention of aluminum heads here...so stick with 85, do 65 or ??
HELP!Chris
Only the dead fish go with the flow.
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
