Thanks Alan,
I think thatit is different with studs but a handy site none the less. They are arp studs i just lost the sheet,
Alan,
almost ready?
I am trying to get it together for this weekend

I think it is different with arp also, but you didnt specify so I posted it any way. I'm not even close to ready. The engine builder suposedly has the motor together now, and scheduled to dyno Friday. If all goes well, and I get to bring the motor home, then I'm still 2-3 weeks away from being ready.

Its cool man, thanks for at least trying. I hope that motor makes some serious ponies, love to hear about you cleaning up this year. Thanks for the help on everything, when mine is finished back to work on dads.

My ARP studs were as follows with 7/16s studs for a BBC...

1. Screw Studs into the block hand tight only.. Use ARP thread sealer for any bolts protruding into a water jacket.

2. Install cylinder heads and check for binding and mis-alignment.

3. Install washers and nuts, torque to 80 ft lbs with ARP Moly Lube, or 85 ft lbs with 30wt motor oil. Tighten in three equal steps to get to the torque figures.

arp studs go 135ftlb with 30w oil for both head and main studs
