I think you are missing the point here ! Studs used in
engine blocks were not intended to be put in with Loc-Tite
or similar products. There is no problem removing studs
that are not broken (Everyone can do that !) There is no
way to double nut or use a stud puller to remove the half
that's left in the block. If you use just plain oil or a little
anti-seize I have been able to remove the piece without
too much trouble. I invite you to try it after you have
used Loc-Tite on it ! It ain't any fun at all !
