Question stud install opinion (yours)

I just got done putting in the studs, i TQ all down to 90ftlbs, the went back and retorqued all down to 125ftlbs. is that good enough to start putting it all back together now?? i assume after a a few days ill need to go back through them all again and re TQ to 125 again, but is that good for now?

What type of studs did you go with?

I believe with the ARP's you need to torque them down, then loosen, then retorque again.. I think you do 3 torque downs per stud.

Not sure as I haven't done mine yet but thats how we always do it on my boat motors. They are 1050hp merc racing motors so I did exactly as the instructions said.
