sealant on bolts

[belvedere]

Please remind me which bolts on a 230 need sealant.  Pretty sure the head bolts and manifold bolts/studs do, but which other ones?  Thanks

Water pump 

Some of the timing chain plate and cover i recall.

Thanks, Conn...I'll probably just seal em all on the front on the engine.

I used Rectorseal #5, a non-hardening pipe dope that is commonly used for steam and water piping on all of the bolts and studs that go through a water jacket. You should be able to find a small bottle for a couple of bucks at your local hardware store.

rectum pipe seal #5 ... I will keep that dope in mind for time I am old ... just in case leakage in age is more than steam
