What is the correct approach to installing studs for exhaust manifold, intake manifold and rocker cover studs? studs are zinc plated of sorts studs into alloy head.

So finger tight with loctite or no loctite or something else like antisieze?

or nip them up a bit to stop them backing out when undoing nuts throughout servicing life etc?

something else?

im not talking about head studs to the block those usually come with install directions.
