I have been reading up on this step and have found numerous information on it but none really say how you do it, just that you need to have the proper stretch for the bolt.
Moving on:
Im about to torque down my head with L19's and a Mitsu MLS using ARP ultra torque, Though I'm curious how you get the proper stud stretch.
Meaning do you put a old head gasket on then torque the studs down in 3 steps (ex:30,60,90) Then repeat 2 more times, then remove head put new head gasket on and torque in stages to desired final torque?
2) Do you just put the new gasket on and torque in 3 stages to final torque for 1 time?
3) Do you use no gasket and torque the studs down as above then put new gasket on etc?
If using the new gasket first my concern is that once the compression ring is compressed on the first torque pass once I loosen the studs up for the next 2 pass it will not compress enough to seal?
