head stud seal and install

[aussie merc]

lets reignite this old debate im interested in your thought and reasons why ? Have seen several different approaches to this 1st sealant loctite 577 loctite 567 even loctite 515 permatex No2 non hardening and even teflon tape then we get into installing studs have seen quote rangeing from finger tight and then upwards in varying torques from 10 to 30 FTLBS even seen 1 person only install 2 studs place gasket on block then head and to proceed to install rest of studs through the head then removing the first two applying sealant then reinstalling Your thoughts
