The only thing I have to add is don’t forget sealant on those rocker bolts. Good work Dan.

I was being fastidious but in any case I’d use a high temp thread sealant like Permatex 59235.

just drill them front ***** out, its just the water jacket 90% of the shavings are gonna be on the outside anyway. the last couple will just get caught in the radiator

Should be pretty easy and foolproof, just stop as soon as I feel it break into the water jacket right? Worst case scenario I tab a little doodaa on it with my tig machine.

I just bought a big tube of that stuff and freaking love it! I wasn't sure if I should use it or ultra black RTV since it will sorta have direct oil contact.

The only thing standard I like is transmissions

The Permatex should work fine too, it says it resists diesel fuel and hydraulic fluids. I know from experience that RTV dissolves in gasoline for sure.

Good info, black rRTVtv never seemed all that tough to me but even my LSX engine bulding book said to use black rtv so thats what I used before, I don't like how RTV doesn't stick into the threads as that Permatex stuff does. I'll use that Permatex stuff for sure now!
