i believe ARP makes a stud kit for the stock rockers. seems like a good idea and save the threads if you take the rockers in and out a lot

I use GM thread sealant on the intake rocker bolts. It works for small/big block head bolts and oil pressure/water temperature sending units. I just make sure the hole and threads are clean and dry before using it and let it set up overnight to make sure it seals good.

My camaro was having smoke at start up and idling until input red permatex on my ported heads rocker bolts. This was done about 8k miles ago. Recently my car has been having the same symptoms. Does the permatex eventually need to be redone to the bokts? Is it possible i didnt put enough in?
