Is it ok to use 30W oil to torque the head studs down or do i have to use or would you recommend me using the arp lube. The bolts are ARP head studs. The sooner i know, the better, Thanks big time guys! Additionally, if 30W is ok, should i still go to 75lbs?

personally, i would just use arp lube and be safe. Dunno the difference between that lube and 30W when it comes to thermal dynamics/evaporation/breakdown/etc, but i'd bet its not equal.

I'm sure people have used regular oil before and had it work...why not use the stuff thats recommended though - it usually comes w/ the studs anyway

you can use oil but you must use highest tq ratings. I think about 100lbs with oil. check with arp's web site though as they will tell you for sure. moly lube is what I always use and reccommend.

yea i remember there being a torque spec for 30w and a torque spec for arp moly lube and the 30w was higher. you can buy the arp stuff separate from them...

I prefer a little dab of silicone on the threads, it keeps em sealed anywhere water could creep through.
