Why? I didnt buy Arp but the Ebay knock offs but even Arp recommends their Arp lube or thread locker just don't mix them.
One thing i cant find is what to torque them down to. I've got a couple books and they only talk about torquing down stock bolts.
You wouldn't know what the torque specs are on head studs would you?

Did you use either of the two bolts right behind the intake going into the fire wall? I like the look of the Vacuum block it's a nice piece and I almost don't want to hide it but I'm not sure where to put it. I might just do what you did and putit out of sight. How exactly did you attach it to the fire wall?
Thanks

Its not attached at all, its basically held in place by all the hoses going to it. Not sure which one you have but mine is pretty small. It basically sits behind the driver side valve cover and there are so many wires and hoses in that area you cant see it unless you really look for it, but can still get to it if you have to...

I have a problem i installed my down pipe but now one of my ac lines that connects to the evaporator core is pushing hard dowm on the down pipe and I was told that it needs to be atleast a inch away or it will melt. I've already bent the pipe about 1/4 towards the passenger side but it made not difference. i would load pics but photobuckets is acting up. what can i do also the bolt that attachs the ac lines to the compresser i lost it does any of you happen to know the size?
Thanks
