Default head bolt thread sealer product?

I used this Permatex product on my rebuild but it doesn't say silicone just teflon based. Will this work? Has anyone else used with good results? Thanks

I use this all the time, and never had a problem with it.

Just used it on mine. The ARP thread sealant IMHO is better though.

Yep, I agree. Permatex #2 when I could find the tube of ARP sealant. I've used it since the early 60s IIRC.

You can get the ARP thread sealant at Summit, Jegs, local speed shop, ect.

Also, Permatex makes a specific thread sealant.
