I noticed this as well and had to remove the head once to put those washers in first before reinstalling the head.

I torqued to 80 then 90 and then 100 crisscross pattern as specified in the manuel, and I isntalled the washer in first and then the studs, made it much easier then having to muscle f**k the bad boys

When I installed mine ARP specs were 80 ft/lbs with ARP molylube. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif
