#187026 Use the Helm's manual when you're building it. Use all the stock torque specs for everything but the head studs, since you're going with ARP. I called ARP a while back and they said to torque the head stud nuts to 85ft/lbs on a B16A3 I was working on. That's 5ft/lbs more than with the stock head bolts. I'm not sure what it would be for the D-series, but I imagine not too different.

Link for the Factory Maintanance Manual: http://www.spoonertuner.com/manuals?SID ... da989d6b45

PLEASE don't buy a torque wrench from Harbor Freight. The accuracy of the torque spec versus the reading is plus or minus 6%. If you're trying to torque to 100ft/lbs, you could be doing anywhere from 94-106ft/lbs with that specific torque instrument. For $80, my Craftsman torque wrench has a tolerance of plus 1% minus 1.5% as measured by the calibration company I have to send it out to every year. Trust me, you don't want your engine to be built on a +/-6% tolerance. That's like saying, "I need 83mm pistons", and the shop sends you a set of 88mm pistons because they have a +/-6% tolerance on the size of their pistons.

When it comes to precision tools, more is better to an extent. My Craftsman torque wrench is just as good as any Snap-On torque wrench as far as the quality of the tool. Only problem is that the Snap-On warranty is lifetime and Craftsman is 90 day.

As with car parts, you get what you pay for.
