Hi Everyone,
Just recently torqued down cylinder head. I placed sealant on bolt 1 that goes into water jacket. Now I’m second guessing myself. There was oil on thread before I applied sealant. I now realize thread should have been completely clean of oil before sealant was applied. In the event that coolant makes its way through, would it just come up out of the top of the bolt? I guess what I’m getting at is, if it is not sealed correctly, what could result? Thanks
