std's are 35 lb/ft i think, but what should i torque my arp rod bolts to?

cheers in advance

if the arp bolts are BEB-6001
then the torque with oil 30wt 60ft lbs
or torque with arp lube 40 ft lbs


if the arp bolts are BEB-1
then the torque with oil 30wt 55ft lbs
or torque with arp lube 38 ft lbs

When using ARP lube

the fastener must be torqued 3 times, the 3rd time is the one that will prelord the fastener to its design loading

says 50lb on my sheet that came with the rod bolts and torqued 3 times

does this mean on my new engine i'll have to undo my head twice and do it back up again?

had the blurb pinned up on my garage wall the whole time LOL

it is 60 lb/ft as jimmy said.

Only is 60lb/ft using oil, personally I'd always (and do always) use the ARP moly lube to get the most accurate clamping force.

aye, if you use the arp lube, like tom the flash git, i think a lower torque figure is required :)

when you buy new bolts studs etc you get the lube in the kit (part number of the lube is L99)

Yes, it comes in the box with the bolts, I can't see why you wouldn't use it??

i never got any....funny that, i never seem to get any K&N oil with my filters either.....?

Drop Wolfie a PM, I sent him a sachet of the ARP lube I had spare, if he has some left over he may send you some.

Cheers Tom, Ill pm him now.

Does it really make that much difference?

Well judge for yourself, but with the BIG difference in the torque figures they quote to achieve the same clamping force with different lubricants, I personally think so, yes!
