6.9 head stud torque?

[GoodB0Y]

this is my first post and let me say this forum is awesome! there is more info here on the idi's than my poor little brain can take in...lol, but after searching here and around the net there seems to be alot of differing views on the final torque for the ARP head stud kit for the 6.9.

I'm wondering if the kit from ARP has a torque that they recommend? I've read people torquing them anywhere from 90-110 lbs...also read that they like to pop off some times!!! any thoughts, experience, comments are much appreciated.

Thanxs,
Corey

Welcome to the group. This is the place to find some of the most knowledgeable people on the IDI.

ARP recommends one torque value if you lube them with motor oil, and a different value if you use their molly lube.
Use the search function--I know this was discussed exhaustively within the past 4 or 5 months.
I also recommend you read thru all the IDI tech articles at the top of the thread. There is a lot of very valuable information there.

Again, Welcome
