rorenapier Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Headgasket thickness does not matter with head bolts.Its the tensile strength of the bolt that decides the torque Quote Link to post Share on other sites
birdmandan Posted May 25, 2011 Author Share Posted May 25, 2011 ahh right okay well my headbolts didnmt come with any intructions or anything so im gonna have to ring TMD then and ask him what the torque settings are for the ARP headbolts! Dan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rorenapier Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Thats the torque settings.I torqued mine down 20ft/lbs then 40ft/lbs then 60ft/lbs as it says in the ARP instructions Quote Link to post Share on other sites
