I was told by ARP that if I use 30 weight oil instead of their lube on the head bolts they need to be torqued at 85ft/lb instead of 70ft/lb for the 10 15mm bolts and 29ft/lb instead of 22 ft/lb for the 5 small bolts that run up top by the lifter valley cover. Is this what you guys do? Or do you guys follow the 70/22 like factory even with 30weight oil on the bolts? I just wanna make sure I get the proper tq on the bolts so I don't blow a head gasket. I was also wondering if I torque a head down but don't start the car up and then remove the head since the car was never started can I reuse the head gasket?
thanks!
