Oil or ARP assembly lube on factory bolts?

[dibbons]

Would you recommend using the ARP fastener assembly lube on factory main cap bolts or would that cause them to be over-torqued? Same answer for factory head bolts? Thank you.

Factory bolts, I'd use oil.

I never heard a recommendation to torque the short and long bolts differently, but I guess it makes sense.
