I have never had the stud bolt unscrew from the case while I was taking off the heads

Not that big of a deal on a TC depending which one it is.

It's when they come out before taking off the heads that you gotta worry.. Max

I simply check the length of the studs for stretch, torque the stud back into the case at 15 ft. lbs., and proceed to install top end.

Don't use the red. If you ever need to replace your cylinder studs you'll tear up the cases getting them out. Use the blue. It will hold and still allow the studs to be changed out.

well if you have to take them out its time to replace them any way. a drop of red will hold and if you have to get them loose double up a nut on the stem and it will break loose real quick also with the temps it will come right out any way... so red will work with out any problems had to do it a few times and had no problems at all.
