Actually the studs are suppose to "float" in the block. What I mean by that is they are not to be installed tight to the block but installed loosely, finger tight. You still have the same amount of "thread" contact.

I think it would work, as long as you went over all the bolts and retorqued them in proper sequence.

When I talked with the "ARP" tech he said to use their thread sealant. Of course any good sealant would work. I also prefer "Loctite" brand. Also when torqueing the nuts I would use the "ARP" brand torque lube they sell.
