Fitting ARP head bolt kit .. Advice?

[Scoota G]

I'm just fitting the ARP Head Bolt Kit that i bought a couple of weeks ago and wonder if any one want to throw their 3 1/2 cents in?

and wonder if any one want to throw their 3 1/2 cents in?

 

Inflation?

 

All I can suggest is Torque wrench with correctly fitting socket - Torque to manufacturers specs (whatever that may be.....?), do bolts up in criss-cross fashion, and ensure a beer is in hand....

 

Oh, I found this - http://www.arp-bolts.com/FAQ/FAQ.html

 

You prob knew all that though....

I screwed mine down into the block till they stopped, then 'nipped' them down with an Allen-Key (not too tight though!)

Then I torqued the head down as per ARP's instructions.

Just make sure you used a slim 12mm Multi-hex Tube socket & that it goes RIGHT down over the nut & the protruding stud, otherwise you risk stripping the nut AND the socket...
