Use a ....

teflon pipe sealant around the threads when screwing them into the block. wipe off the excess if using studs or if using bolds, leave the last three threads dry to take up the "squash"when installed.

Only use ARP lube on the fine-thread end! If you don't have it and use oil you'll need different torque specs.
