alright so im in the middle of doing my cometic MLS headgasket, and arp studs. now some people have been saying that i need to use thread locker on the stud part that screws into the block, but others say that is a no no. what should i do seeing as how this is a boosted application? other question is, do i just hand tighten the studs into the block, then install the head and nuts, or do i actually torque down the studs first before putting head and nuts on? any info would help. remember, this is a 1990 eagle talon awd turbo. arp studs and cometic mls headgasket. thanks guys!
