So did you Ask ARP what you should do about the locktight? Or did you not mention that. Because Im guessing They would tell you to use the product they supply you with to get proper torque on there studs. But mabey you know something that ARP doesnt.

The way I look at it, if you use lock tight you might not get the correct torque reading. Which means the ARP studs wont be at there maximun holding potention.

Either way ARP said not to worry about ti if the loctite has already cured, They said just start at 40lbs and then go up in steps of 10lbs until i hit 70. Then they said after 200 miles check the torque and if it measure out it will be all good.

word, studs arnt going to back out. locktite isnt going to do anything. head lifting doesnt come from your studs backing out.

Re: Help before i kill myself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You guys are a bit harsh. Putting locktite on the threads that go into the block isnt going to affect anything. All of the torque readings will be the same. Yeah its unnecessary especially only for 20psi but its not like its a bad thing.
