I always used a little bit of oil on the threads going into the block and tightened them finger tight. When you torque down the nuts, the studs turn a bit as well tightening them into the block.

I'm positive ARP's old directions called for 110 lb/ft with 30wt oil in our application, and I know it didn't have anything about loc-tite. They've obviously changed their direction sheet in recent years. My new motor is torque plated to ARP's standard spec.
