head studs
getting ready to install my head gaskets and ARP head studs Is there any sealant recommended to put on the before I screw them in the block? Also the rocker arms is there anything that is put on them? I have some kind of locktite that i bought from LPE when I bought the heads! you can see through the bolt holes without the screws in them on the intake side!

Head studs..use supplied lube applied lightly on the stud threads and nuts, follow the torque specs, add 5lb/ft if using 30wt oil. Make sure the bolt holes are cleaned thoroughly 
Rocker bolts, most people seem to use a removable strenght locktite, or even pipe dope in some cases
I use blue lock tite and let it setup over night
