Why red and not blue? That would seem to create a big issue if you ever needed to remove 20 studs under the car.

I think you're still compressing the gasket and RTV, I'd stop tightening.

loctite grade is besides the point (the studs came out with a little extra torque). The point here was the constant loosening of the nuts and the only way I fixed it was to replace the stud set up from Canton with ARP Bolts.

Just my experience.
