Thermostat Change on 250 i6. Thread sealer on bolts?
Hi guys, I will be swapping the thermostat on the 1969 250 i6
Question: Do the two thermostat housing bolts require thread sealer? I don’t recall if water has access into those two threads. If thread sealer is needed, which loctite do you recommend? Thank you!

Re: Thermostat Change on 250 i6. Thread sealer on bolts?
Sorry, I don't know about inline 6's, but on a small block it isn't necessary.
For thread sealer, I like to use teflone tape. Hopefully, someone more knowledgable on inline 6's will post the information you're looking for.
