ARP Head Stud install

You guys are hilarious... chicken tacos, motor dreams

But seriously, drudis is 100% correct.

Chase the threads, ARP STRONGLY recommends their moly lube on the top row (dead holes) and thread sealer on the bottom row (open holes).

And DEFINITELY use the moly lube on the under and top side of the washers, and on the threads of the nuts. The moly lube gives a more accurate torque spec according to ARP

Bennett racing recommends a 9333 PT1 head gasket with final torque spec of 70 ft lbs on the bottom row and 75 ft lbs on the top row (some go 80, I have before).

I love the chicken taco joke, I'm still laughing!!! good she-ite!

Oh, and get a good, long handled torque wrench if you don't already have one! And creep up on the final spec, say 30-50-70 and go back on the top row and add 5-10 ft lbs.

If I can do it, anyone on this list oughta be able to!!
I almost forgot, if you have any leakage out of the bottom row, common on studs, add a bottle of liquid Bar's Leaks.

I was skeptical, but it works...
