Just wondering, why there are a few bolts, that tap into the cooling system and have to be sealed.  Is there a reason for this?  440 engine.
I used to have a handle on life....but it broke off.

It was probably a convenient way to get sand out of the core and close the passage after.  :shruggy:

Didn't Edelbrock solve this problem, with their Al. heads and the Al heads they make for Mopar Performance?

I've always run a little bit of rtv on the bolts for my headers and it seals it up nice

Permatex Ultra Copper RTV works great on header bolts.  :2thumbs:
