Finger tight on the stud into a clean hole. Carrol Smith recommends Red Loctite, but still only finger tight. Moly lube on the exposed end.

everyone says finger tight but only but seems like a few i seen they never go all the way in with just your fingers. always needed to use a allan to get them all the way down.

Probably because the threads aren't clean.
