ok befor you all start i know the right way to do the job is to pull the head off the car. but im doing the 1by1 method

now i have seached and found alot of mixed info on how to do it.

there is a way to install and take out the head studs.



this seems to be the take out method.

what is the install way to do it??

also some say to torque them down and then re loosen the nut and re torque the nut a few times and each time get tighter and tighter.

what is the best way to do the 1by1 method for arp headstud install on the evo.

 

don't do em....

 

the install is the exact opposite. start at 10 then 9 and so on. https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d+stud+install

 

why are people so against studs...
...do it, don't do it?

 

ok so starting from 10 to 1 is the install way then. ok. thanks

now how about the trq settings and stuff

 

i sugest you leave it alone if your going to half *** it and do it that way without taking off the head.
either take the head off or dont do it at all.

 

u installing cams too?

Guess I posted too late. I agree with Riceball777

 

oh boy!

 

if you change your HS w/o changing the HG, it will leak......

do it once, do it right - pull the head

 

I laid the final torque on mine to 85 ft. lbs. You want to use the install pattern rather than the removal pattern. Here is a link, post #3:

right...

 

Not broken don't fix it! unless you do what slowcar said, pull the head.

 

ok now how about the way you trq them down. do you just go right to 75 80 foot pounds or do you got to loosen tighten loosen tighten and how should that be done????

 

bump anyone
