Hi Dennis,
When I assembled my Burtz kit last year, I used Permatex Right-Stuff to seal the studs. I worked some into the hole of the block and then inserted the stud. Some of the sealant came out with the stud and when the nut was installed, the sealant sealed the threads and the area between the block and the nut. This method resulted in no leaks and not much work to accomplish. Once the Right Stuff sets up, it is not going to leak.
I agree with you: "We do what we have to (to) stop leaks".
Good Day!
Dave
