Yes definately put some of the red stuff on there...Last thing you need is a stud backing out on you.

I'd go with sealant, as some may touch water jackets etc..

Are we talking about rocker studs or head bolts? Rocker studs take thread lock and they dont hit water jackets. head bolts take thread sealer because they do hit water jackets.
