What are they?

Need for intallation of the studs and for when I install the heads and main caps.
 
For the ARP head studs IF you are using the molly lube that comes with them or Lucas oil treatment, then I torgued mine at 35, 55, 75 then waited ten minutes and checked the 75. I checked the torque 3 times before they where consistent.

I haven't had a problem with my car yet with the above.

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?
