Re: arp main/head studs finger tight or tension
Finger tight is fine, although it won't hurt to nip them up a bit with the allen key. They will rotate slightly when you torque the nuts down.

Thankyou +rep
Re: arp main/head studs finger tight or tension
As mentioned, finger tight only on the studs, as per ARP recommendations.

Re: arp main/head studs finger tight or tension
They should, all ARP studs do.
Re: arp main/head studs finger tight or tension

Re: arp main/head studs finger tight or tension
Did they have ARP stamped around the top?
Re: arp main/head studs finger tight or tension

Did i put them in upside down ?
Re: arp main/head studs finger tight or tension

Re: arp main/head studs finger tight or tension
Will check when the head comes off in a few weeks but i put the grease it came with on them and didn't notice writing or Allen key hole then, Maybe i missed it or got ripped off.yeh
Re: arp main/head studs finger tight or tension
upside down des.
mine that i put in a couple of weeks back i lubed with the moly grease, tightened by hand, then used a 4.5mm allen key (i think) to do them up a wee bit tighter (nothing over the top)
NB : make sure you chase the threads in the block.
Re: arp main/head studs finger tight or tension
Heh yeah probably upside-down. Those are definitely genuine.
Re: arp main/head studs finger tight or tension
