SBC - Which Head Bolts enter the Water Jacket?
Hello Folks,
On the small block chevy engine, which of the seventeen head bolts enter the water jacket (and thus need to be sealed)?
Thanks in advance.

Every production SBC I've seen needs sealer on all 17 headbolt holes. Some aftermarket blocks have blind holes and don't require sealer.
