quick RB25 rebuild question

[muaythailuke]

Hello everyone

Just starting to piece my engine back together now (RB25DET) and ive got ARP head studs for it. Now Ive got the standard torque specs for it from the workshop manual but what about with the ARP studs as they didnt come with any specs etc..

Do the studs need to be torqued down and then the nut also after the head is on or just wind em in as far as they will go and then torque the head down??

plus what torque spec do you use, as I thought it would be a greater torque setting than standard??

just do em up finger tight, she'll be right.

They're not supposed to be torqued down, just screw hand tight. I used 80ft/lbs to torque them.

Use the standard torque settings, they are made stronger but do not require additional tension. You can confirm this with ARP themselves.
