    1980 FXS Lowrider, original owner. Just had my heads & rocker boxes
    powder coated. I'm usin the rocker box bolt setup vs the stock stud
    setup as I made that conversion when I switched over to S&S heads.
    Was wonderin if rocker bolts go in dry or should I use a little blue
    loctite? Will the loctite throw off the torque readings? I'm usin a
    James .20" metal with bead gasket, which I'm told is far superior to
    the piece o` **** paper with silicon bead (which disintegrated & of
    course leaked). I'm assuming these gaskets were designed to go on
    dry. Greatly appreciate any feedback. ~Flash~
