ARP fastener question

[Darius]

I am replacing my rod and main bolts with ARP fasteners and was wondering if I can or should locktite those nuts on? I know they supply the moly lube to ensure proper tightening, but am a little worried that they might come loose or something? Should I be?

Another question on ARP head studs. Can the head studs be reinstalled or are they worthless after they are torqued down?

Don't loctite them, just use the moly lube and you'll be fine. Headstuds can be reused as long as there aren't stretched out

Sometimes head bolts are Torque-to-yield bolts. I'm not sure if the RB's stock ones are, but ARP bolts are not so they are fine to reuse.

measure inital lenght of all the bolts and remeasure every rebuild/dissasembly, when they have gone past the arp specified limit then replace.
