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!


Ain't nothing standard about @randeez .

Honestly, I call all of it RTV. It could've been permatex brand for all I know. Just black, oil resistant gasket maker. Something I had laying in the drawer. Anything that isn't going to get eaten by oil will be fine.

Also, I think my BTR bolts were a little shorter but I read a ton of stuff saying the bolt sticking down doesn't have much negative affect on performance. I'm pretty sure my camaro has the stock bolts and I doubt I cut them off. Cutting them off cant hurt but I don't think its a huge deal if you don't

Calling everything RTV is a bit misleading. All the different products serve different purposes but I’m sure I don’t need to tell you that. Thread sealant isn’t gasket maker.

So if your mouth is wide open and you have the tip of a d**k in it you won't feel a difference when breathing vs not having the tip of a d**k in your mouth?

P.S. This sounds kinda rude when I read it in my head but that's not the intended effect it's just a dirty innuendo.

just pile up about 6 washers under each rocker, that way the bolts done protrude into the port

Misleading is my middle name. Thread sealant, RTV, Gasket Maker. The shit thats in the tube thats black. Says oil resistant on it

Probably this...

I take no offense big D. I was just give you some reassurance from when I did this on my own stuff. I couldn't find a good answer on which bolts actually worked but most said it wasn't enough to matter. I'm pretty sure the BTR bolts were shorter than stock but I didn't take a single picture of the exhaust port.

Understandable.

Yes. This man knows how to solve a problem

Sometimes when I don’t have the right sized washer I just make them out of Pennys.

I’m finding just as little info but I can’t imagine it not hurting at least a little and I paid good money for good flow dang it!

I don't have a race truck so I wasn't all that concerned with it. Honestly, the only reason I have ported heads is because I didn't want to wait on a valve job on the stockers.

Cut the bolt off and send-er.

I can't remember who on here had some ported heads and was questioning that bolt hole being exposed after porting, a while back. Thats what made me remember my camaro smoking because the oil seeping past the bolt and having to seal it. If you compare what's there on a stock head, vs that little bolt, I think thats why they say its not a huge deal. Obviously it will hurt the flow some, but IDK if its a single HP or not
