What’s in the Box
  • 10 × M8 studs (135.7 mm), washers & nuts
  • 12 × M10 studs (184 mm), washers & nuts
  • 1 × ARP Ultra-Torque Fastener Assembly Lubricant
  • Installation instructions (below)

(ARP brand — Made in USA)

Installation Instructions
  • Fit the head gasket dry to the block over locating dowels — do not use sealant.
  • Fit two cut-head bolts as guides, then carefully lower the cylinder head into position.
  • Remove guide bolts and lubricate the block-end threads of each stud with ARP Ultra-Torque lube.
  • Screw studs finger-tight only into the block until seated. Do not torque them.
  • Install washers — bottom face dry, top face with a light smear of Ultra-Torque lube.
  • Lubricate the top stud threads and underside of each nut with Ultra-Torque.
  • Fit nuts finger-tight. If a nut does not engage fully, back the stud out slightly.
  • Torque all nuts in four stages following the OEM tightening sequence:
  1. Stage 1 – tighten all M8 and M10 nuts to 20 N·m (15 ft-lb)
  2. Stage 2 – tighten all to 44 N·m (32 ft-lb)
  3. Stage 3 – tighten M10 nuts 1–12 to 75 N·m (55 ft-lb)
  4. Stage 4 – tighten M10 nuts 1–12 to 95 N·m (70 ft-lb)

✅ Final torque: M8 @ 44 N·m (~10 % over OEM) & M10 @ 95 N·m (~23 % over OEM).

Optional max tension if required for sealing: M8 @ 48 N·m (18 %) / M10 @ 102 N·m (32 %).

If possible, hone cylinders using a torque plate tensioned to your final settings for best results.

⚠️ Important Note – M8 Stud Installation Options:
  • Option 1: Fit M8 studs with no washers.
  • Option 2: Use hardened washers no thicker than 1.9 mm — allows camshaft lobe clearance.
  • Option 3: Use the supplied 3 mm ARP washers — the cylinder head must be counterbored to recess these washers for camshaft clearance.

⚙️ Failing to provide proper clearance may cause camshaft interference — always verify clearance before torquing.

Why ARP2000 vs OEM Bolts
  • Higher clamp load prevents head lift under boost or towing loads.
  • More consistent torque through reduced bolt twist and friction.
  • Re-usable design vs single-use torque-to-yield bolts.
Install Notes & Disclaimers
  • Professional installation strongly recommended.
  • Replace the head gasket and any single-use seals or dowels.
  • Retune engine if required after major top-end work.
  • For off-road / motorsport use where required by law.
