Locktite. Be sure to use a locker suitable for the size of the stud/threads. I only use a blue, not a red permanent locker.

Re: screw in studs??
I was working on a truck today at my shop, the owner of which also owns Canfield cyl heads. (hehehehehe) Soooooo, he recommended blue loctite as well. Pay attention to the torque on those puppies. A rocker arm with some good springs will yank a weak thread from overtightening.

Re: screw in studs??
How is the red different? I recently put some on some harmonic balancer bolts because that's what I found lying around in my garage.
