Got the ARP nut, two actually. Fits real nice and gives excellent clearance with my 7/16" ring spanner.
First torque down on rebuilt head, flame ring gasket now completed. Used the motionpro 90 deg spanner clamp on the three 7/16" nuts. First time using it and while a bit fussy getting placement on nuts while keeping a 90 torque wrench angle, it worked out fine. I pre-checked my torque wrench calibration on bench using a digital scale to pull at right angles to arm from 1' point away from pivot point. Also practised "feeling" force needed on my 6" ring spanner on the torque wrench fitting. It takes quite a lot of pressure on the fingers to achieve 30 ft-lbs at pivot. To the point of pain actually.
