Head bolts

49 KB1. When installing head bolts some have suggested using a sealant. It’s been a long time since I swapped heads etc but I don’t ever remember using anything on the threads.

Re: Head bolts

You need to use sealant on the threads as the threads extend through to the water jacket.

It should not be necessary to add another thread for continuing the same subject. Continuing with the original Coincidence - - - - would have worked better.
