Just buy a tube of their recommended fastener lube and do it right the first time.

ARP bolts come with a small package of their lube so you don't have to buy it separately when you buy them new.

Bolt preload can vary a great amount based on friction, which is why ARP spent so much time developing their lube. You should get it with the bolts as mentioned, but if not, don't substitute since the rod bolts are so critical.

I also was under the impression that ARP required a measurement when installing rod bolts to ensure the stretch was correct.
