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, adam
