Hey guys new guy here with a 96 ek couple d16a block with all forged internals,sleeved, je pistons eagle h-beams rods block notch'd for clearance d16a crank.fully port'd an polish'd z6 head with all the good stuff.
Im curious to know what headgasket should i run an since i got studs what torgue specs should i set the heads at?
-
Run a stock d16z6 HG, and ARP head studs. They will come with the TQ specs
-
thanks thought they would have came with specs but didnt maybe ill just call arp an get the specs from them just figured i would ask someone here since im sure someone has the same studs

Have the same studs but going from memory I think 65ft-lbs w/ ARP fastener lube.
But I still search ARP website.
Or a link from D-series that worked for me: http://www.d-series.org/forums/engine-building/111485-how-really-torque-arp-head-studs-straight-arp.html (http://www.d-series.org/forums/engine-building/111485-how-really-torque-arp-head-studs-straight-arp.html)

Most the time I set them to 80ft/lbs. Other go higher.
-
thanx guys

According to the d-series link I posted the ARP guy said "Alot of the people torquing them down in steps to 75-80 ft lbs he said your asking for trouble..and not sealing any more or putting any more clamping force that way."

Torque specs on the ARP head studs I got for the ls-vtec said 85 ft-lbs :o
IIRC the D16 ones I had were around 65 ft-lbs.
My ARP studs came with a half size piece of paper with the torque specs, yours didn't?
-
i used to go 70ftlb, till one day on about the 8th time i used the studs one snapped. fail.
i now use 65ftlb. tested to 30psi without issues.
-
Yup... If some is good more is better... :?: 'till you rip some aluminum threads out of a block with some steel studs...

I chuckle every time this subject is brought up.
I would say that ARP is your best source of information on this topic.
80 lb-ft on D16 head studs...
LOL
Make sure you torque them down in 5 lb-ft increments as well.
ROFL

Hey if people think it's okay to go crazy with used stockers...then must be required on ARP's. ;)
I've had bearings go, rods snap, pumps shatter, clutches explode - but never had ARP's toast a HG if I used a 3 step sequence to recommended torque.
BTW Where the fuck is this guy's n00b post? I see you nogs forgot as well. OP, rules are n00bs must make an intro post that includes good porn. And do not listen to N/A Mike, it can't be gay porn.
