Should I used the factory 40 ftlbs specification for ARP studs? Just got some in last week. I'm hoping they solve my head gasket issues (I had the head gasket surface resurfaced by a machine shop).

You should use the arp torque spec.Those bolts need a certain amount of stretch and tension.You probably need to know if they need to be lubricated or dry when torquing also.
