Re: ARP Head bolt install help needed.
Uhh, you're not supposed to loctite ARP's in.
I've had mine off a few times and always re-use the same ARP's. I first put the ARP's in by hand with the head off using regular oil, then put the head on and torque them all to 80 lb/ft with the pattern in all the manuals(inside to out, in an x pattern) then finally to 110 lb/ft. I've only blown one headgasket years ago, and that was just whatever gasket Rick had in there from when he'd melted a piston or something. Never had a problem since.
