    I dont have oil leaking, my question is do i put Anti-Seize on the intake and valve cover bolts? someone told me i should put locktight but im guessing thats false because of the heat involved.
    Hey thanks for helpng a beginner out.
    on the intake small amount of sealer on intake threads RTV or non harding sealer. on valve cover s you would not want a thread locker on valve covers there is on need less your going studs then some guys lock the studs in the head only. there is threads lockers and sleeve retaining compounds that can take 400 and some to 3000F
