belvedere Posted June 9, 2019 Report Share Posted June 9, 2019 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belvedere Posted June 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 Thanks, Conn...I'll probably just seal em all on the front on the engine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallyace Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
