    Another foolish project

    Some of you know and most of you dont. I blew a head gasket the other day. It was a beautiful green fountain blowing out of the rad over the fender. Fortunatly it blew into a coolant passage and not the oil passage. Too much boost and too much timing. HAHAHAHAHAH What I need to know is the torque on ARP head bolts. I cant seem to remember what it is.

    Anybody have this info?

    They just changed their recommendations so i wouldn't go by what most remember them to be on here. I know they have higher recommendations now than they used to. I think they have it posted on their site.
