Crankcase/cylinder studs

[canamant]

When fitting new HD studs, what do you fit them to the crankcase with ?  Loctite, Alumslip, or dry.   2 of the old studs snapped getting them out and have been properly removed by local engineering genius who was grateful that no-one else had "had a go".  I know when to bow out :-).. Holes/threads have been cleaned with a plug and are ready to receive new APE stud kit.

id use light grade loctite,then if you have to remove barrels or head in future the studs wont screw out,if you use high grade they can stick in pretty good then if you want to remove them any time theyll, be solid,good move on cleaning threads as ape studs can bind up if not cleaned !!!!
