you use loctite only when you are into a water jacket as you find the studs bottom out anyway! you must clean the block threads before you put studs or bolts in and i mean clean them till there is nothing coming out of them. studs are better as you get an even torque but are not worth it for a streeter that isnt high performance that isnt being stripped every 20k km. i have studs top and bottom as mine will get pulled apart a fair bit and runs huge boost. run head bolts unless you are going to run big boost and or you intend to strip the motor often. mick p.s remmeber to use lube when torquing you studs or bolts to get the right torque but dont use to much! theres a bit more to it but unless you are going to trail fit the engine internals ten times there is no use!
