Just wondering how many people did NOT use thread sealer on there lower head bolts when installing new heads?? I did not put any one mine, i just used some antiseize sh**on the bolts Just wondering if i will be ok, or do i have to rip the heads off again buy new head gaskets and put the sealer on there??? man i will be pissed off at myself if i have to!
thanks

I wouldn't go ripping stuff apart. Sometimes they're fine that way and sometimes they're not. I didn't use thread sealer in the past and never had problems. However I do use it now.

i guess all you can do is test it. run them like that for a while and see if they leak coolant.
me personally, i would like to have the security of knowing that the water jackets are blocked good and tight.
take care,
