Pinto ARP head studs

**quicktime** · 30-11-2019, 17:48

Hi all im fitting ARP studs to my pinto, couple of questions do i lightly nip the studs in the block?

Also how do you do the back two as the nuts sit to deep in the head to get a socket on?

Cheers

no need to nip them but you can if you want.

ive fitted loads and never had a problem with the nuts being too deep for a socket

ARP usually provide torque figures but will depend on whether you are using ARP nuts or std, ARP lubed threads or dry - all will affect the required figures . . . . . not very helpful Huh!
