What sealant on 292 Head bolts?
Got the head off, and the bolts look great, I did see that there was remnants of some kind of sealing compound on the threads. I have a thread cleaning chaser tap coming, didn't want to use my threading taps to clean up the threads in the block. I read that the torque rating is 90-95 Ft/lbs,tightened in a spiral pattern from center out. I'll probably torque in stages, 30/60/95...I've had good luck using that method through the years.
My question...what type of sealant do you use on the bolts? Plain old black RTV silicone? Assuming just a small dab on the threads to keep water from seeping?
Thanks!
