I have been reading about ARP head studs coming loose.
I think Steve commented on this problem.

I used Supertec head studs on my 375 hp 3.5 Turbo and they have stayed in place for over 18K without retorquing.

They (Sup) are installed using blue Loctite in the case and anti seize on the nut. They are designed differently but I wonder if loctite may cure the ARP loosening problem?
