you mean ARP head studs? those you're suppose to tighten into the block hand tight, so use the allen key and tighten and when it gets tight, turn it a 1/3 of a turn counterclockwise so it isn't too tight. And just tighten the nuts on the studs the same torque spec.

ARP HEadstuds are 70 ft/lbs

Mains IIRC is 51ft/lbs

Rod Bolts should be 29ft/lbs if they are ARP
