I have arp studs, a black head, red block, copper gasket but i guess all that matters is the studs, i was wondering what you guys use with studs (not bolts).
I have heard you dont need the GM stud sealer with arp studs, is that crap?
Has anyone used a alternative with studs, performance and reliabiltity are more important than price.
head stud sealer with arp studs.

Don't use 3Bond on the studs. Save it for the gasket. As ALX76 said, use a non-hardening sealer.
I have used the Holden sealing compound (GMH P/no. 3835215) but Loctite thread sealer is a little less messy on studs (same as the ARP thread sealer).
Hope this helps.
