Head Bolt Torque

[Long Island RT]

I lost my "info card" for my ARP head bolts.  Can anyone tell me what the recommended torque steps and figures are and what lube is recommended?  I have the Eddy Performer Heads on a 440 block. 

Thanks

I have the same combonation, I used a strait 30 grade motor oil and gave a light coat of oil on 5-6 threads and torqued it 70 foot pounds.

I torqued to 50, then retorqued to 70.

IIRC, ARP recommends their own paste lube and they have a different torque spec for it as opposed to 30 WT.

John is correct....the specs using ARP lube vs 30wt oil is slightly different. I have used the ARP lube with a final spec of 70ftlbs. Start at 30 ftlbs, then 50ftlbs and finish at 70ftlbs....using the factory torque sequence.
