Alright, got the crank and pistons installed today. But I want to make sure that I did this right before I go further. I torqued the main studs to 125 ft/lbs per the ARP 2005 catalog. I screwed the studs in the block then installed the main caps and torqued them down that way. Then I removed the main caps and put the crank in and torqued it down to 80 ft/lbs. Was that the correct way to do it?
Also, how the hell do I install the head stud? Is it the same way? If so, when do I install the head gasket, before or after I get the initial tq on the studs?
