Start from 1 and so forth.....From there I would go ahead tighten them to 95 ftlbs and then once all 26 are done....Do them again at 125ftlbs...You can also go one more time to 130ftlbs but thats max....

This is the torque rating for the ARP studs that are like 425bucks....

When you do the studs. You a knickle base lube and use ALOT OF IT be generous with that stuff...... Also make sure you clearance the back of the rocker house injector there is a pic below becuase it will not clamp down all the way....

Explain this a little more.... The cover needs to be filed down? OR??

 

you will need to clearance the cover to clear the back stud nut, it will not fit with out doing it.,,You just need to notch it on the inside.
