ARP head studs
These instructions are confusing me. They're for a B16a, the instructions say:
[A] Torque values are based on 75% of the fasteners yield strength. Use the manufacturers torque sequence but do not use the engine manufactureres torque specs. Torque the nuts to 70ft lbs.
[B] Due to the expansion rate of ALUMINUM, it is recommended that the torque should be 65ft lbs.
So which do I number do I go by 70ft lbs or 65ft lbs?
