I finally buttoned up the bottom end and after checking piston to valve clearance I’m ready to put the heads on.
What do you use on the head bolts with aluminum heads? Loctite, Anti seize, RTV or nothing at all?
ARP thread sealer. Be sure that there is a washer UNDER the head bolts to prevent galling the aluminum heads.
Thanks, The ARP bolts I have came with washer (flat side down)
Almost forgot I have left over thread sealer that came with the stud kit I bought for my Cadillac Northstar engine when I studded the block to prevent the head gaskets from going for a third time. I would think that would work unless it only works on aluminum which that block is?
