          Use thread sealer only on the threads going into the block where waterjackets are. Use 30wt with one set of torque specs or ARP moly lube with the other specs on the studs where the nuts/washers go.

          It should be in on the spec sheet in the box, or lookup ARP's site

                  Directions for all my head studs said moly all around... so ... this advice would be more than correct.

                        I prefer Ultra black RTV, superior fluid resistance. To each his own.
