We are assembling a 340 stroker using an APR head stud set for cast iron heads. We need the torque spec for this application. The ARP site gives a generic number but nothing specific and ARP is closed for the holiday weekend. Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance. P/n for the kit is 144-4001.

Maybe with ARP lube. I even contacted Edelbrock after hearing of the high torque value...they suggested the same.
