Head Bolts

[excobraguy]

Quick question, I have stock heads (Ported though) I am getting ready to put back on. I ordered the Felpro 9441PT gaskets with ARP 12 pt head bolts, rated at 190,000 psi. What should the new threads be coated with when reinstalling the the head bolts?

Thanks, Dean

You can use the arp thread sealant if you have any. Or I have used a liquid teflon, or paste to use on the threads to seal the bolt from water leaks. If the head bolts come with the arp thread lubricant use that on the underside of the washers and the bolt to get the correct torque reading. Or just use some engine oil too.

HTH.
