i'm glad i realized my mistake before fully torquing down my headbolts that these washers had a chamfered side it's very easy to brush past it. torqued the first few in pattern one set to 100ft-lbs and glad i didn't fully do it because i had to take them out to make sure they're all set because it says if the chamfered side isn't on the bolt it'll cause premature bolt failure. also second thing i saw is that ARP has they're own specific torquing specs which i've heard horror stories about people who either didn't put washers on or torqued the bolts down to manufacture specific rather than ARP specific. they state to do 3 rounds of torquing the bolts to 100ft-lbs so i've been using a torque stick rated to 100ft-lbs to add that last layer of your "cover your ass" method
ARP will never give any advice that falls outside the installation instructions that come with the fasteners I doubt they would endorse sanding washers The installation instructions I have seen for ARP Head Studs indicate: “Lubricate the stud threads and bottom of the nuts with ARP Ultra-Torque Fastener Assembly Lubricant. Then install the nuts onto the studs and tighten hand tight. “ tech.arp-bolts.com/instructions/234-4342.pdf
@@Jommybutler1234 Read the article in my description. ARP also sells "Stamped Patterned Washers". This prep tip is not mandatory, it's just something extra to help even the load bolt to bolt as most head surfaces are not oil free or the washer itself isn't unless you clean it. I believe ARP does advise you lube under the head of the bolt, so if any of that oil seeps under the washer during the multi-step torque procedure...
I don't mean to be a dick and hope that's not why you deleted your 2nd reply. Just sharing some info I found that makes sense to me and people can choose to do it or not
Hey what rocker studs did you use for the eBay heads? My arp studs don’t want to thread all the way down even tho I have the depth, I had to use a arp washer should I sand those as well?
Summit Racing also has their own brand head bolts but I've not ever seen them in person to compare and think they were 12 point style heads for SBC

ARP says you are fine, just make sure you do NOT lube the underside of the washer.
ARP says I'm fine or you are fine to just install w/o lube?

Great video! :)

Arp bolts are junk they are always out of round or breaking.
