Default quick ARP head stud install question

i know you are supposed to use moly lube when torquing the nuts onto the studs, but are you supposed to use moly lube when threading the studs into the block or do you install them dry

thanks

You can, but I use alittle oil on the threads myself, then run them in finger tight and a hair past.

I used the molly lube on both the threads in the block and the nut threads.

You use moly anywhere there will be friction. That includes threads, both sides of the washers, and underneath the nut.
