Looking for recommendations so I'm doing the head gaskets and putting on arp studs but was wondering what most of you guys were using thread sealer or just rtv? does it take sealer on all screws? should I locktight the rocker arm bolts?
 
Thread sealer not required on any head studs. But if you put something on the threads so they aren't dry, then they will come apart more easily if you ever need to remove them.

Use a hardening thread sealer on the intake manifold bolts.

Do not use lock tite on anything related to the cylinder heads. Lightly oil threads before torquing rocker arms.

This is all per the Ford manual in case you are wondering.
