It made me sweat, this was not as easy as it sounds with a small breaker bar.

Don't forget if you get a small ping you need to back off and retorque. Nearly all of them pinged before I got to the second 90, despite the oil on the appropriate surfaces.

Can't wait to do it again.

It's not bad with a torque angle gauge and a 36" breaker bar

Here's what I used:


I'm assembling the bottom end at that point but you get the idea.

Slows2k

That will get it done. It's hard to accurately measure applied torque with a click style wrench, does that have a beam scale on it?

How do you retorque the OEM studs if there is no torque spec?

AusS2000

No, that's just a big ol'rachet.

Slows2k

OEM is bolts not studs.

I would assume you loosen all of them in a reverse sequence and start over. Never did it though, all the S2k heads I've put on had stock HG's or O-ringed t-sleeves.

Have you done one with ARP studs?

What procedure did you use?

Slows2k

I used AEBS studs, but they recommend the same procedure as stock.

I was using a 20" bar , that would be much easier

I have a feeling that is not you cheapest tool though? I am using a scrap peice of 1" conduit and a regular ratchet.
