Anyone know what ARP's should be torqued up to?

Cant remember, but you could try calling someone who sells them/an engine builder who sells them.

35 lb/ft

 

You need to measure and tighten each bolt a few times before fitting them

Did you lose the distructions? Just to add a little, coat the bottom of the nuts in moly grease then tighten to 35lbft, slacken & tighten 2 more times.

You could do it that way, but that's not how a professional would do it. Done correctly, you'd measure the stretch with a micrometer.

Put the rod sub-assembly in a vice (with jaw guards of course) so you can measure the bolt length with a regular micrometer. Then you can match your torque wrench to the desired stretch.
