Head Bolt Threads

[igotta40]

Question- do any of the head bolts thread into the engine water jacket, requiring a sealant? If so, which ones?

No, none of the head bolts are into the water jacket from the factory....

If you see coolant coming out of a headbolt hole, like I did when I removed a headbolt to install a powersteering pump bracket on the forward 2 headbolts, you may have a warped head, as I did.

Thanks for the info!
