Re-Torque Head after rebuild?
#5
Well what I do with ARP head studs, is 3 step torque to spec, then loosen about 1/2 turn, then 3 step to spec, loosen, then a last 3 step to spec..
This way any movement of the block/styd/nut is made before fluids are added.
It pulls the stud thread into the block thread, and "mates" the nut with the stud.

Cheers, the engine is not built yet, the head is ready and I should get the block back from the engine builder this week.
I take it when using this method there will be no requirement to re-torque the head once the engine (forged internals) has been run in?
many thanks for your advice....
