Sealants and fillers
 

Putting re-manufactured heads on a 283. Felpro gasket kit says for those headbolts entering the coolants passages apply a pliable non-hardening sealer to the threads. Recommendations?

Instructions also say to apply a quick drying adhesive to the cylinder heads to hold the intake manifold gasket in place. Recommendations?

Lastly, I have some pitting on the block head mounting surface around the coolant passages/water jacket holes. Looking to fill these areas to improve the chances my head gasket will remain sealed. Recommended fillers?

Thanks,

Paul

in my experience, fel pro kits usually include the sealer in the package. I have used permatex blue in absence of a provided sealer or when removing bolts that need to be resealed though.
