"Did your crankshaft also come with little grub screws to close off the oilways in the crank webs?" - Yes
"If so how did you fix them in place? Loctite?" - Yes
"Similarly, how did you fix the big-end bolts? Are yours also ARP2000 bolts?" - No need for any loctite if correctly torqued
"What is the recommended torque for the big-end bolts?" - From memory 35ft/lbs
"ARP recommend their proprietary oil when tightening the bolts so as to achieve consistent torque and bolt stretch values. This is new stuff for me. what do you know about it?" - I listened to ARP, after all they make the things so have a vested interest in giving sound advice.
"The starter dog that Phoenix delivered turned out to be completely wrong and presumably meant for a different engine layout altogether. I expect to get a correct one hopefully in reasonable time." - Yes that was my experience, the Phoenix dog is not correct for an original pressure fed nose cone.
