Re: ARP and rod bolt questions

One thing, don't use any loctite on the head side of the studs. Moly lube is all you need for those. When I did the headgasket in my car I used a Mitsu composite gasket with copper spray and torqued it to 95 lbft. With a MLS gasket you probably wanna stay around 85-90. Also, when I assembled my motor I used red loctite on the block side and when I did the gasket, they wouldn't come out, so it's not likely they will ever back out of the block.
