Is this a yay or a nay? Just removed my head and some of the studs worked loose rather easy. I have some studlock 270. Thoughts from the pro's?

Ive never needed to, also 270 is pretty strong so only use a dot. On 28th Aug, 2011 Kean said:

They're ARP studs. Don't like the idea of getting them stuck and running the thread with stud removal tools. Will probably leave it. BHP sells engines, but Torque wins races! |

I forget where, but I read that studs should be screwed in only finger tight.

Nay follow ARPs instructions. They supply lube with the kit do they not? |

Only use it on the front stud of an 11 stud setup to stop the coolant leak up the thread... 'Where does the engine go?' |

And even then I'd use thread sealant (535??) not 270 locktite, or you'll never get the thing out. If you don't need the sealant though, they're just installed finger tight.
