[Healeys] Torquing Studs.2

[Richard Ewald]

If you are worried about finger tight not being tight enough, install the
studs finger tight with both the studs and the holes clean and dry.  Then
apply a drop of green loctite (after lock).  It will wick down the threads
and lock the stud into place.
They won't come loose by accident.
