    Sealing Heads???

    What would be the best thing to use for sealing a set of heads? Just reg. rtv or what? And do you allow both sides (head and block) to get tacky then put back on? Whats the process..for I have never done it myself. Thanks Joe

    A motor model and serial number would be nice. But you don't seal the heads.

    That's why the gurus request the model and serial #s when asking questions.... Some times changes were made in the same model year.
