For the Eco, do you need to torque the actual stud at all? I know you want them to be in all the way(learned that from searching), but it just doesn't make sense to not torque them
Any help is appreciated.
read teh directions from arp, it says thread them all teh way in til tight, then tighten the nut down. pretty simple. there is also a diagram with the order you are supposed to put them in
it's something like 7 ft/lbs if i remember right. The ARP directions are not specific to the ecotec block but when i talked to ARP I'm pretty sure i TQed mine to 7 ft/lbs or 84 in/lbs.
