No, they don't go through the water jackets like the old 23 degree engine. No sealant is necessary, but some choose to use a little moly lube on the threads and under the head of the bolt to ensure accurate torque readings.

Larry you're not allowed to do H/C.

Your not gonna try for the bolt on record? I'm disappointed in you. You let the farmer get to you.


Looks like I'm gonna be the slow one again.

Watch out for any water in the bolt holes, or you will hydrolock and split the block.
