ARP head bolts

I am using ARP head bolts for my heads. I need to know what is the torque spec for tighting them down. I am dipping the threads in oil to put them in. Is it still 70 ft pds with oil on the htreads.

Thanks

There's a section on www.ls1howto.com in the heads/cam install that deals with ARP head bolts.

I used the ARP assembly lube when I did mine, but I guess oil is ok?
Final torque was still 70'lbs. Believe it was 30-50-70, wait, 70 again.

Thank you. That is what everyone I talked to has said. I found out that the gasket I got had a tear in it and I am getting another tomorrow..

It's 23 lb for the small bolts.
