Default Header studs question

For those of you who have installed the ARP header studs, what torque spec did you use for the stud installation and the nuts? Did you use anti-seize, loctite, something else??

Thanks!

I didn't even bother, because the studs wouldn't even come close to fitting with my TPIS headers.

I used the supplied ARP moly lube on my washers and nuts. I torqued them to 70ft/lbs. I've had the heads off and on a few times and the studs are holding up great.

Head studs or header studs? Sounds like your talking about head studs.

Yeah, I'd like to see you torque those header studs to 70ft/lbs. You'd be having fun with the extraction process after that
