ARP HEAD STUDS?

[haulbalz]

Do i need to put a sealer on te studs before i screw them into the block?

I didn't.
I just put anti-sieze on them

anyone else?

I used ARP assembly lube on the top ones and ARP thread sealer on the lowers. I just did it last night so we'll see how it holds. First time with the heads off and on.

 

[haulbalz]

why did you use the sealer on the lowers and not on the uppers?

 

[94TURBO5 O]

I did it per ARP directions that came in the box.

The lowers dip into the coolant passages. Thats why you need to put sealer on the lowers. Be sure to use the ARP moly lube and sealant.

ARP

moly lube and sealant from arp is what I went with.

Haven't had any problems yet.

i guess that's my problem then... I didn't seal them and i was leaking coolant into my oil... thanks for the help guys
