Message: [QUOTE="Fordtrucks, post: 977920, member: 10491"] I spoke to an ARP tech before re installing my studs. He told me to always TQ them to spec. He said the stud is designed to be stretched a certain amount when torqued. He said your not tight enough, the stud may stretch more under load, causing your gaskets to fail. He also said you can re use them as many times as you want but to never torque them any higher or you'll over stretch the stud and it will fail. The guys that tell you to add 10 lbs more every time you re install them are dead wrong! He also said its very important to use the exact lube the stud calls for, nothing else. My block isn't cracked, second time at 275. Use a calibrated, 3/4"TQ wrench. No extensions. We used a TQ multiplier. Don't bottom out the stud in the block. [/QUOTE]
