i just put in a set of arp studs 2 days ago to gm specs since i didnt recieve the directions in my headstud box and im curious as to what all you think will happen?! i torqued them down the way gm tells you to thinking that they would be the same which was a big mistake.i did them 37,59lbft,then 60 degrees and another 60 degrees...anyone have any ideas on what i should do?do i just leave it and run it or do i back them off and re-torque them???any input will be appreciated

I would Retq them. Also have you called who you bought the studs from to tell them about this

Yes definitely call the vendor that you purchase them from. Maybe you won't have a problem with them failing.

yes he did. they were actually still sealed in the ARP plastic shrink wrap so ARP dropped the ball and didn't put the instructions in the box.
