50896, Torque Spec with Copper Head Gasket
Posted by Michael_97RS, May-10-03 11:28 AM
We have two different torque spec with the old gasket and the new MLS gasket.

What are your thoughts on the torque specs to use with a copper head gasket?

Sue ARP Studs and follow their instructions. I wouldn't use stock headbolts with a copper gasket.

Don't think she'll seal with stock head bolts? I have ARP washers to space the bolts up so they don't bottom out.

Any other thoughts?

75ft/lbs all around :-) use copper gasket spray on it, too.

The short corner bolts will be okay with that?

Wait, isn't that what HRC uses? Or were they +7ft-lbs all around...
