I read a few threads on how to install ARP headstuds, but I wanted to make sure I have the procedure correct. When I took the head off 4 of the studs came out with the nuts.

Clean out holes in block (how?)
Optionally use blue loc tite on head side of studs
Finger tighten only
Use moly lube on washers and nuts

What order should I torque them, and in what increments? This is on a stock composite headgasket.

Also, how tight should the rod bolts be?
