What do I need to torque my ARP head bolts to using the ARP thread sealer? They are the 134-3601 bolts. I think they all go to 65ft*lb, but I wawnt to be more sure. Thanks.

You ar Correct it's 65 lbs w ARP Thread Sealer. I will be installing my AFR 195 heads with the same bolts tomorrow. I just finish clearancing my retainer to rocker and cleaning all the valve train parts. Now all I have to do is finish the top half (heads and intake)and make an appointment to break it in on the dyno $300.00.
Good Luck graemlins/hurray.gif

Awesome, thanks for the quick reply. I am toying with the idea of breaking mine in on my test stand before I put it back in just to make sure everything is right. Then on the other hand I am thinking about hedging my bets and just putting it back in having some good old fashioned faith in my handywork.....actually, that test stand sounds pretty good!! tongue.gif
