Re: didn't use Permatex Thread Sealant when installing heads
JSeery
That is exactly what I have decided to do. I purchased two tubes of the alumaseal powder and will fill the radiator with water and add a tube and a half of the stuff. I have one head off and pulling the studs will get all kinds of debris on the copper seal spray and ruin the gasket. The gasket still looks good so I am going to reinstall the head and give the alumaseal a fair chance with three warm/cool cycles.
From all your advice, I believe it will work just fine without the hassle of pulling the head studs and resealing their threads. After all, I did not start this job because of leaking heads. The original head gaskets sealed fine.
Regards
