Default After Market Rocker Arm Stud question....

Ok so the heads are on. The INTAKE rocker stud hole is a straight shot into the INTAKE runner. I've read a dab of silicon on this hole but how do you put locktite IN with silicon? Or do you just let the silicon act as lock-tite?

Thread Sealant! Heh and you can buy ThreadSelant/Locktite combo or you can just put locktite on the first 2 threads and thread sealant on the rest. Lesson learned!

And if you want to get really tricky, you can mark how much of the bolt goes in to the intake and grind that portion off so you get the smoothest airflow possible

Not sure if it penetrates into the intake track. I should check though.

I put the loc-tite under the head of the bolt and the thread sealer on the threads.

If you look @ the stock bolts you will see this is the the way they come.
