Installing head studs

And have a question... Do any of the bolts require thread sealant? Thanks.

No they are all blind holes. No coolant passages intersect.

It's not a bad idea. a little grease or teflon sealant before you torque them in helps torque them more accurately. Just don't let any teflon squeeze out. Or wipe it off if you do.

Thanks guys. I have the ARP lube, but didn't know whether the sealant was needed.
