will this leak?

[Los_Control]

I did have a bolt in this hole to hold the coil bracket. That bolt had come loose, the bracket rattled around and ruined the threads on the bolt.

Just curious if this would leak compression or water? Trying to picture in my mind, how this truck ran 30 years ago.

 

I have seen others use a stud on this hole, seems best to me. Would I need to add some sealant to these threads?

I hear of several different types of sealant being used for head bolts, wonder which ones work.

No sealant needed there. Bolt or stud should work fine as long as you don't bottom it out.
