what should I seal rocker bolt threads with?

My purrdy new prc 227 heads appear to have the intake holes drilled all the way through into the intake runners. Should I use ARP teflon ptfe thread sealer or some kind of loctite?

What about loctite on the exh. rocker bolts? Those appear blind. ie... I can see the bottom. Should I blue 242 loctite them?

Loctite is your friend.

Permatex thread sealer or teflon if just sealing. Loc-tite if you are locking in place.
