Stock manifold bolts to ARP header studs I'm installing my Kooks LTs with ARP header studs and have a few questions:
1. When I put the studs in, what should I apply to the threads? I was thinking ARP moly lube, anti-seize, or thread locker (like on the stock manifold bolts).
2. When I install the studs, how tight do the actual studs themselves get tightened to?
3. When I tighten the nuts, should I just follow the procedure for the stock manifold bolts - 11 lb ft first pass, inside out, then 18 lb ft final pass, inside out?
Thank you for your help,
Chris

Id use antiseize, and do like you said, if you have specs go with them, I just do tight enough to where im not manhandling and breaking off bolts, heat cycle(drive it around a lil bit) and tighten them down again...
