Well I got through to ARP's tech' department and this is their official installation procedure:-

Hand tighten them in,
Use the supplied lube and torque to 38 ft/lb,
You can use Loctite if you want but torque 'em' down before the Loctite sets.

What about installed height ?
No answer on this one.

I was not over impressed by the quality of the advice, either they answer these questions every hour or they make it up as they go along.

So I'm going to hand tighten them in, back them out to the correct length, use Loctite, torque 'em' down.

and while I'm on here I did my own machining for twin plugging my heads, all worked out really well, didn't need to use any messy wax in the fins, I have a "patented" two bits of wood approach. If anyone is thinking of doing this I can advise and put some pics up.

Cheers Pete
