Default THREAD SEALANT

IS IT OKAY TO USE PERMATEX TEFLON THREAD SEALANT ON CYLINDER HEAD BOLTS? IF NOT WHAT TYPE OF SEALANT IS BEST?

Oldguard 7,

ARP (the bolt people) also make a thread sealant.

You might take a look at the book "How to Build the Small Block Chevrolet" by Atherton and Schreib. It has lots of useful tips.

I used Fel Pro grey bolt prep when I rebuilt mine and have had no problems.

Just make sure you use a non-hardening sealant that is not broken down by oil, water, antifreeze or heat.
