searched all over the place and couldnt find anything. i threw away the papers that came with all the hardware

im looking for the torque specs for:

ARP 2000 rod bolts
ARP main
ARP head is 85ft lbs?

Please and THANK YOU!

 

I have 2/3 of those specs...but they are at home and im at my appt at college, sry

I will be home in a few days if you dont get it before then

 

For 3/8" ARP 2000 rod bolts you want to do a stepped tq.

- Tq to 20lbs
- Tq to 35lbs
- Loosen

Repeat 3x holding at 40lbs on final tq.

This assumes you don't have a stretch gauge which is ideal. The reason you are doing it in steps is because it polishes the threads, giving you a more accurate tq reading.

I have no clue on the mains, IMO they are unneeded. The head stud tq looks good. You only need to hand thread them into the block. Just make sure the threads in the block are nice and clean and have been chased. If you cleaned the block off, like you should have, with soap and water. There is be some minor surface rust on the threads that needs to be cleaned off.

Also, don't skimp on the ARP lube! Use it on all surfaces touching metal to metal. Including under the head of the bolts, and on both sides of the washers. It is absolutely imperative in order to get an accurate tq reading. You will be very surprised to see how much additional you can turn the bolts after a few consecutive tq's. As the threads polish you will get an extra 1/4 turn at least out of the bolt when tq'ing to final tq.

 

anyone have the specs for the ARP main bolts?

 

There is a torque spec section in ARP's online catalog that goes off bolt or stud diameter. Try that, maybe it will get you in the ball park.

 

Just scanned my sheets of the main and head studs.

OMG thank you!

i want to use ARP's torque specs with this engine assembly lube which is basically the same as ARP lube i believe?

if not i,ll just use motor oil and use the torque specs for when using regular motor oil

Imput pleaseeee

thanks

 

Engine assembly lube is NOT the same as arp lube.

 

Alright thanks for the info, i,ll go by "oil" torque specs then

edit: nevermind i,ll wait till tomorw and call around some shops for arp lube
