just something to think about, since someone mentioned it to me last month. If you ever plan on or have to remove a head for some reason, you're not going to be able to do it with the engine in the truck if you install studs. Just something to consider, im going with bolts and studding the bottom end.

NOT TRUE. the newest ARP head studs have allen heads in the tops so you can remove them at will.


Use the factory torque specs on the mains and 75 on the heads. make sure to retorque the heads after a few heat cycles no matter what you head gasket mfg says.

thanks thats true about the head studs i have them already and they do have the allen heads cut into them so if you have to take the heads off for any reason you can The 75 for the heads is that factory spec or what works the best.

All the new ARP studs have it. At first I though it was a separate part number but it isn't

62 is factory spec. 75 is about the limit for the arp studs that are normally ordered. you want that limit, 62 isnt enough.
