yes, I just built my B18c1 and used ARP headstuds. From what I learned lubing them up you get a true torque reading and helps with installing them

you are likely to break the stud and undertorque it without any form of lube.

clean motor oil works fine

Use a very light coat of oil on the 1.5 thread side going into the block, and the moly on the 1.25 threads on top and the seat of the nuts.
