Hi Folks.. getting ready to install the manifolds on my tr3a with all new studs. So, do I want the studs to stay in or come out? Thanks

I'd put a little antiseize on them. I don't like using loctite on something like this--the blue stuff won't take the temperature, and if you use the red, high-temperature stuff, you'll have quite a job if you ever need to replace the stud. If the stud is screwed all the way home, and the nut is properly torqued, it won't come loose.

The purpose of torquing is to stretch the fastener so that enough pressure is applied to the mating surfaces. It is not to seat threads. You only need to torque the nut.

Yes, Bob's quite right. Also, since you are tightening it against a rather thick, soft gasket, it's not a bad idea to retorque the manifold nuts after a few hours of use.
