Red Lock-tite on ARP rocker studs?
Red Lock-tite on ARP rocker studs? When I put new guide plates on I noticed that the 7/16 rocker studs had red lock-tite on it with thread sealer. So I cleaned the threads off, put fresh thread sealant, and torqued them down to 70.
Should I have put fresh red lock-tite on it as well?

Well they were used so I wasn't sure if they came with lock tite new or it was put on afterwards.
Couldnt find the torque specs on ARP's website so I did a search and found people torque theirs to 70.

Although it really wouldn't surprise me at the rate this build is going...

Brett Foote Everything looks good. Torqued them to 35. Gonna have to redo some of them since I don't like the way the guide plates are centered.

As stated stock torque is 50. Most aftermarket heads say 55-60 and the ARP website says 70 for a 7/16 stud. As Rob94hawk says, call ARP and see exactly what they say and pass on this usefull tid bit to the fellow board members.
