NOTES
Inspect all hardware prior to installation. Look for
obvious defects or shipping damages. Please
call 800-826-3045 with any questions or issues
The engine block and cylinder head decks must
be flat and have the proper surface finish for the
head gasket used or gasket failure may result
To ensure proper thread engagement and
accurate torque readings, clean all threads in
the block to remove remnant sealer, lubricant
and debris. Chase if necessary, with a thread
chaser.
Before final assembly, a mockup of the
engine and or components to check the fit
and clearance near and around the
fasteners is recommend.
TOOLS NEEDED
16mm socket
4mm Allen wrench
FINAL ASSEMBLY
1.
Clean the spot faces on the cylinder head.
Brake cleaner is recommended to clean the spot faces where the washer seats.
2.
Install the head gasket and cylinder head.
3.
Screw the studs into the block hand tight, do not apply torque.
The hex broach in the end of the stud is designed to assist with installing/removing the studs from the block, not for
applying torque.
4.
Use a clean, dry rag to remove all oil from both sides of each washer.
The cylinder head and washer mating surfaces must be free of oil/grease/lubricant. Failure to keep these surfaces
dry may result in inconsistent clamp loads.
5.
Place the washers over the studs and on to the dry, clean spot faces of the cylinder head.
The stamped side of the washer goes down against the cylinder head. This stamped surface grips
the cylinder head preventing the washer from spinning while the nut is being torqued. The result is
accurate and consistent clamp load.
6.
Apply ARP Ultra-Torque
Lubricate the stud threads and bottom of the nuts with ARP Ultra-Torque Fastener Assembly
Lubricant. Then install the nuts onto the studs and tighten hand tight.
TORQUE PROCEDURE
7.
Following the manufacturers recommended
torque sequence, torque the nuts per steps 1-3
1- Tighten nuts 1 through 12 to
25 ft-lbs (33.9 Nm)
2- Tighten nuts 1 through 12 to
50 ft-lbs (67.8 Nm)
3- Tighten nuts 1 through 12 to
70 ft-lbs (94.9 Nm)
