Thread Sealant On Rocker Studs?

[RangerJoe]

Hey guys,

Do I need to put thread sealant on the rocker arm studs protruding into the intake ports? The directions with my ARP rocker studs calls for it, along with moly lube. I've heard of others using loctite. What do y'all do?

do the threads run into the intake runners?

The stud itself does not protrude, but the hole is cut into the roof.

Yes, i use loctite thread sealant to do them. Moly lube right under the head of the bolt.

moly under the head and the liquid PTFE (pipe dope) on the thread is what we use...
