ARP studs have a specific torque value and method, which is unique from the OEM spec.
When you mention the "cam cover" you mean the valve covers, right? Those go on with barely any torque, just till they start to snug up, and don't forget the RTV at the cam cap corners.
The actual cam caps (the bolt-on bearing part) has an incorrect torque spec in the 02 FSM for the smaller two bolts per cam (front pair)
Also, if you lap the sealing surfaces of the valves, you should re-check valve lash, it's likely tight now.
