1982 air cooled Westy


While removing the cylinder heads from my engine one of the cylinder head studs backed out of the block.  There was no damage to the threads and it easily screws back into the case.  I assume I can apply some kind of loc-tite to the threads and simply screw it back in.  What kind of loc-tite should I use?  Any advice on how much torque I should apply to the stud when screwing it back it?


Thanks,
Jake
