Head stud sealing.
Hi fellow LTX enthusiast, I have a question.
I'm do research on the best way to seal up head studs on your blocks do to the fact that your blocks are not blind hole. I do not want to have them leak on my procharger build

Do not use the ARP stuff.
RTV for myself and @blackbirdws6Correlation does not imply causation.

Up until about a year ago I never stopped to think that I was using a gasket maker/sealer to seal threads. My shop teacher in high school always insisted we use rtv on the threads of water pump bolts and I just always did it on head bolts that went into water jackets too.
