 JB Weld is good up to around 600 degrees. You could put a thin coating of it
on the threads. I am not sure how hot the head gets up around the rocker
studs.


You may need to address what is causing them to pull out though. Maybe the
valves or pushrods are slightly too long putting extra pressure on the
rockers? Maybe the valves have receded into the head a bit? Something causing
a lot of vibration?

Scott,

Thanks, but for the AMC they are screw in studs instead of pressed in.  For
the 75 Ford Motor this may work.

I have some permenant loctite(Red), but it indicates heat need to remove.  I
am not sure if the heat threshold from the engine would allow the stud to
remain.
