Hey guys, need some help with tighten ARP Head studs, if you guys use any thread sealant or lock tight or Moly lube on the head studs,? (on the short block/bottom end)
I'm kind of iffy just hand tighten them. Right now i use a glazed coating of Moly lube on them and gorilla hand tight them with an Allen key.

Will I be OK?? Thanx..

the head studs should have came with lube...if not i hear oil is fine...like a 10w30....and you dont need to tighten em anymore with an allen key....once the heads on tighten the nuts to 35,60,80

so moly lube is ok?? on the bottom end of the block. i was reading somewhere that if its in the water jacket area you gotta use thread sealant but i already used moly lube on it and hand tighten them... i guess it should be ok.. or should i check it out...

i used the moly lube on both ends on mine.

moly lube and hand tight.. the stress of tighting down the bolt on the stud holds them in place!

As stated. Hand tight with an allen. Use moly lube on the threads, a light coating.
