Re: Head bolts do not go into the water jacket correct? So no sealent is required right? you want NOTHING on the bolts! i think they come with a little locktite from the factory. you do not want them easy to take out. you want to make sure you have every single drop of coolant and crap out of the bolt holes, or else very very bad things might happen <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> you know you arent supposed to reuse the ones that came out, right. and theres a proper torque sequence.

Re: Head bolts do not go into the water jacket correct? So no sealent is required right? If you are using ARP head bolt's..use a little moly lube or motor oil...and if they are stock bolt's install them dry with a tiny bit of oil or moly lube on the bolt's washer face only. but you are correct no sealant is used <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
