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

[hatchdemon89]

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

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

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?

[danz]

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.

[Foowee]

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.
