Spud, don't use Locktite on your rod bolts/nuts. If you have ARP bolts/nuts, then use ARP Ultra moly lube. If using stock bolts/nuts, use 30 weight motor oil. Torque them to specs, then go over them after they are all torqued down. None should turn anymore before reaching torque. If they do, they are stretching and need to be replaced. If the bolts/nuts come loose, it wasn't because you didn't use Locktite, but rather because they were not torqued down.

I will be using the stock studs and nuts for the rods as well as stock bolts for the heads and mains. Will 10w-30 be alright for lube as that is the weight I will be using for oil.
