Coolant seepage

[HellOnWheels]

Anyone have good/bad luck stoping coolant seepage around head studs? I retorqued the head studs after a couple heating cycles and now there is coolant seeping from around them.

Is it possible to remove studs one at a time and apply thread sealer and retorque to solve the seepage?

TIA

Did you use sealant in the first place? If so, add a few GM seal tabs to the radiator fluid. If not, I'd try pulling them one at a time and using sealer (I use Permatex #104 teflon paste). My studs still seeped, so I used the seal tabs and it's good now.

Yep, GM coolant seal tabs are the stuff!!!! I use a couple at every flush or teardown.
