I dont know weather to follow ARP instructions or Felpro 9333 instructions.

1) ARP inst says tg in stages in sequence all bolts to 80 ft lbs.

2) Felpro inst says tq in stages in sequence lowers to 70 ft lbs and uppers to 80 ft lbs.

Which way should I go? Thanks

It's only an inch or two. What's the big deal?

I would do it even, but that's just me.

I used the arp bolts with felpro gaskets. I used 80ftlbs. In stages. No problems whatsoever. Besides it's the fastener that creates the clamping force so it's best to run with that spec, I don't think you can over tighten a head gasket.
