best way to seal a stud from water jacket
Hi All,
Update time. I lapped and gapped my new valves and am soaking the block in evaporust now. I checked all of the stud holes just on a whim and found that the one between the #2 valves went all of the way through to the water jacket. What is the best way of sealing it off from water? I could use JB weld but then the stud will be glued in permanently. I was just planning to use a lot of anti-seize and match its height and threads to the rest of the studs around it. Mike

Re: best way to seal a stud from water jacket
I use permatex anaerobic sealer on all the head studs. It sets up in the absence of air and does not lock in a stud. It comes in a white tube and does not say anaerobic on the label. With my broken ankle, I cannot get to the shop to tell you the part number, but all the parts stores have it.

A little dab of silicone or permatex as Dodge suggests.

I just picked up some Right Stuff by Permatex, I also have aviation form a gasket from them as well. I would prefer not to glue the stud in the hole so if the form a gasket will work then I will use that.

Re: best way to seal a stud from water jacket
Ok the block is soaking in Evaporust and I know I have to clean it out after I drain it. What I was thinking of doing is installing the head, torqueing and then using the hose to back flush the head and block. This should clean out any residual evaporust in the block. Sound good?
