Loctite on ARP head studs?
 
In Wayne's book he mentions using red loctite on the case end of stock studs and no loctite on Raceware studs, but what about ARP studs? On ARP's site they only mention using loctite if the studs go into a "wet" hole which of course these do not. If you don't use loctite are they supposed to be installed dry or lubricated?

Technically going in dry would be the best, but for the sake of corrosion protection a little light oil wouldn't hurt anything.

Different lubes will change torque values a ton! Use the ARP lube, and their torque specs. The lube gives the most accurate torque readings.

I think he's talking about the ends of the studs that don't turn - the ones in the case, not the ones that the nuts go on.

They're in, I used a little oil. Now I have deck height problems, but that's for another thread.

I used Loctite 262 with mine. Went in nicely.
