Torque Wrench....good Enuff?

i stopped by and picked up a new torque wrench from sears…point being that is only is good to 75 ft-lbs. so mustang guys…i was planning on doing a head/cam swap this winter, so my question is what kinda torque settings to you need with ARP head studs? i thought it was something around 85 ft-lbs.

:confused:

No wonder your not driving it

:smiley:

Just pick a number. :slight_smile: Torque wrenches have crappy accuracy anyway since the fraction of torque going into tensioning the bolt is variable depending on friction.
