Taking off Main cap bolts, They need to be dipped in oil right?

i just got 3 longer ARP studs for the windage tray because the other ones did not clear.

Couple questions-
When removing them I just loosen the bolt on one end slightly 1/4 turn? and do the same to the other side. Continue to do this until there is little torque on teh bolt/studs. But i still want to leave 1 stud in while i change the other.. this way so i dont have a chance of messing anything up. Then torque that one down some but not a lot, remove the other stud and replace it with the longer stud.
Sounds good?

Now when im reinstalling the new studs should i dip them in a bit of oil? and does it matter what kind?

77 ft lbs of torque on the main cap bolts right?

What about the studs where u use the allen wrench to put them in. How tight do those need to be?

If I remember correctly (old brain) the studs go in the block dry hand tight. The nuts require ARP lube and tighten to spec.
