ARP say to torque there head studs to 40 ft lb, but is this the same on turbo application? I know the ARP studs are designed not to stretch but 40ft lb dosent seam very much. Maybe just me tho???? |

It's 40lbs with ARP lube I guess. If it says so, do so!

Lol yeah to keep the pixies in ha ha. I just thought with the added pressure a turbo puts on a head gasket, that people on here may have experimented in torquing them to a higher pressure.... |

So when there is a higher pressure in the combustion chamber, the head gasket works better when it's squished?

to put more pressure on the gasket to prevent it blowing out he is on about. Do it right the first time and make it mint!!!!!! |

Ok, so deforming the gasket will reduce the chances for blowing? Sorry, I still don't get it. On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

Looks like a street pizza to me Paul.

Personally I think that ARP know more about clamping down a gasket than I do. So I pay the money for their nice hardware and then follow the instructions.

Clamping force is all about stretching the stud. How much force is needed depends on the studs (dimensions and material) if you much force and you go beyond the stud elastic limit deforming the stud and reducing the clamping force. Isambard Kingdom Brunel said:

Yeah very true. ARP are the experts but i just wonderd if anyone torqued more than stated. Sometimes people find better ways of doing things than what the instructions say. |
