OK as in my other post i got the engine to start today... one nagging problem tho... a small leak with the header bolts..... coolant slightly leaks out..... and this is after taking them all out and coating them with anti seize which helped alot but not totally dry..... just curious as to what everyone else does to prevent coolant from leaking out the exhaust bolts.....

Thanks

I've used a little silicone sealant on a 440 once that I couldn't get to stop dripping.  :shruggy:

One thing that worked for me was liquid pipe tape, I let it dry over night and it worked well
on all of the holes but one of the two holes that has a heli coil, one always drips just a little.

The factory used studs for any holes that entered the coolant passages.  Get some, and put thread sealer on them, and you should be fine.
