I got the Cometic headgasket, .074 thick, from the group purchase and I also have ARP head studs. I was just wondering if anyone else with this combo knew what to torque the studs to with this gasket? Thanks.
I did they never call back thats why I am seeking help. I also talked to the people I bought the parts from and got nothing. Does no one else have this setup?
The stud box never came with instructions? As far as torque spec. Cause they should.

They do not come with any instructions because ARP does not even know they make parts for the 2.4L engine.
With a copper gasket we did mine to about 95 ft lbs with moly lube.
I think on a stock gasket about 70-75 is good with moly lube.
As for your MLS I have no clue. Sorry.
I found it out for anyone that needs it...for future reference
If you've got some of the ARP moly lube, torque it down to 75 ft-lbs. If you don't have any moly lube, I believe with 30 wt oil is 65 ft-lbs.
