7:25. Just a reminder ARP does not recommend this. I’ve called them. Their tech department says to thread it in until it bottoms out. That’s it. No tighter than hand tight. Easy peasy. In reality it probably doesn’t matter tho.
See ive heard both different things from arp so its like whats right😂i just follow it because understanding thread engagement like it makes sense but you are right probably doesn’t even matter haha
So I think the reason to back the studs out a 1/4 turn is to get them off the block so when you torque them down they don’t turn by accident and scar the block or even crack it depending on where it’s bottoming out like over a water passage way. Always better to be careful
you all prolly dont give a damn but does someone know of a way to get back into an instagram account..? I was dumb lost my login password. I would love any help you can give me
@Colton Rodrigo thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm trying it out now. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I’ve bought the cheaper studs / 2000 series, 2012 with 40k miles on it with 60-80 hp tune and 5” pipe . You think the 2000 studs will be ok ? Or have you had any problems with those ? Thx for a great video 👍🏼
@@Saa45MIVARP studs are torqued more than stock bolts is what I understand. So start at the stock torque, then in sequence tighten them all down to the next torque setting then the final torque setting.
I’ve heard a couple people saying just dropping the studs in is the cheap and easy route and to be effective you should pull the head and do the gasket and all. What are your opinions
Hey Garrett, this truck is a 2018 with only like 5k miles on it so it is all good for sure. When you get into high miles or if the truck has ever had a gasket done before then i would pull the head! Thats always been my rule.
how do you recheck after a few heat cycles if you can’t access the top of the studs without removing everything or do you have to remove everything again? 🤔
This truck only had about 5k miles on it at the time so we did them 1 by 1. If a truck is older with a decent amount of miles it’s probably best to pull the head
Don’t have to stud it at all !! If it’s stock. Guess everybody thinks all the upgrades are the way to go. Kinda tired of hearing about cummins blowing head gaskets. Guess people don’t have anything better to do. Shit going back to working on my case.
Very detailed, very well done. I commend you for your specificity during the install.
Thanks man I appreciate it

Thank you, you explained everything I needed to know. I’m doing this tomorrow
Thanks for watching Jake

@Colton Rodrigo it worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much, you really help me out !
Keep posting videos man, I like to do the same stuff. Good work
Thanks Thomas i appreciate it.
Same I’m actually getting ready to do head studs on my longhorn this video was very helpful 💯🔥

Same procedure with the cheaper ARP 2000 studs?
Great video, on my things to do list.
Thanks for watching Corey
So I've read that when doing 1 for 1 just to take it straight to the desired tourque
Makes sense to me.. why would you want any pressure to back off on the head.. all the stock head bolts will be torqued to spec already

Always always always put them in the way ARP says too and then re check after a few head cycles.

"Look at all my tools"
Do you need Top dead center for the valve lash?
Yepp absolutely! Has to be there to set them
Can i do this if my head gasket is still good? Is it recommended to do one by one
You can yes but if the truck is old or high miles id recommend pulling the head and doing a new gasket
How long does it take from start to finish?
There are a lot of variables but for us it’s normally a 5 hour job or so
How’s that tool cart workin
It is still at my house! This was my buddies garage and i was helping him. As soon as me and mark get a shop thats where it will go!
How long did this take from start to finish?
Its generally like 3-4 hours. Maybe 5 or so for someone doin it for the first few times
@@jordancampbell3723 Thanks!
Did you guys have to replace the head gasket when installing the studs or is it not nessisary?
This truck only had about 5k miles on it at the time so we did them 1 by 1. If a truck is older with a decent amount of miles it’s probably best to pull the head
Still dumbfounds me that people back out the studs. It's not in the instructions nor will any performance shop back off a stud. Smh.
Ive heard plenty of people say to do it and the logic makes sense.
The practice of backing out the stud is to prevent the stud from penetrating into a water jacket.
@@cesarlaso356 turning the nut on the stud will not cause the stud to turn in further.

He has plans of going pretty far with horsepower so it’s gonna be worth it for him. No matter what it’s good security
Yea.... tell that to my blown head gasket haha
