The Ford Barn - View Single Post - didn't use Permatex Thread Sealant when installing heads

Randy, I would follow Kube's advice, he is someone with years of flathead experience. Internet searches are great, but you have no idea who is posting what and how valid the information is. There are a lot of folks here on the Barn with a lifetime of flathead experience, you can't find a better source on information!

I am interested in how the studs are "cemented" in if nothing was put on them during installation? If they are "cemented" in it would not be likely that they were leaking.

I have used stop-leak products in many engines over the years for different issues with good success.
