[Vwdiesel] ARP stud installation

[lbaird119 at aol.com]

All the Raceware I've done, I just ran them in either lightly double nutted or firmly finger tight, depending on how well they went.  Never have done a single-at-a-time installation though, always a full set with the head off.  The sealant they recommend tends to lightly hold them.  With the fine thread nuts, the studs don't tend to want to spin so it's simply a matter of having them in enough to get enough "meat" to hold the stud and not pull out.  Not too critical I would think.

I have done this once before in the past but I can't seem to remember the 
orrect process and no instructions seem to be available.  So, if I remove ONE 
tud at a time, clean the hole and then insert the new stud, do I just tighten 
t to spec using the standard 3 step process on the instructions in the box?  
ne link I found said you should tighten the stud, then loosen it, then tighten 
t and so forth SEVEN times before the final torque is set. What say ye all?
