I had to pull the head off my car to inspect the cam and lifters. I no longer have the paper that came with my bolts. Can someone post the torque specs please? I have bolts and one stud for grounding the battery, all ARP. Any help would be appreciated.
 
Should be the same as regular head bolts. Five stages - 50 foot-pounds, cup of coffee, 65 foot-pounds, cup of coffee and a sandwich, 75 foot-pounds IIRC. If you don't take the self-imposed breaks the gasket will relax more after final torquing.

Cheers, Adam.
 
Tigger, you may have to shorten the rf head stud to prevent interference with the water pump impeller.

You also should put sealer on the rf stud because it goes into a coolant area.

I shortened mine about 1/8". William
