There is probably some on there straight from ARP. However, I'd still use either the ARP lube or 30W motor oil on them.
My stud kit was oily when I opened the package, but I used oil anyways.
Good luck!

ARP moly lube is probably the ideal lubricant to use, but I noticed on the instructions that came with my stud kit, that ARP provides an "alternate", if you will, set of torque values for when using motor oil.
Can't remember each value for each pass, but I do know the final torque is 85 lb-ft for oil versus 70 lb-ft for lube.
So far it's worked good for me...and I've removed/replaced my heads three times now.
Nothings come apart yet, so hopefully that'll continue!
