STUDS go into their respective holes FINGER tight, its the NUT that gets the torque specs.
BOLTS go in with torque specs. I did the ARP BOLTS on my heads. First off chase the threads with a thread chaser. Its only $15 from Summit. They look like taps, but are easier on the threads,and allow for crap to clog the threads on the chaser, so you can wipe it clean (repeat till chaser is clean)... Use ARP thread sealant on the lower (more outer) holes. THis looks like a white-toothpaste/loc-tite combo. Thats waht it does, seals and locks. Use ARP moly lube on all the other bolts/nuts on re-assembly. It makes the boltthreads/nuts slip and tighten more consistent. Here is my finished product  (showing off waht I just installed sunday!)
