    Intake Manifold Bolt Sealer

     



    I was wondering what is the best intake manifold bolt sealer. The last time I used RTV sealer and I had oil coming up thru the bolt threads.

    In a tube, not teflon tape on a roll. The tube I have is Permatex Thread Sealant, item #80631.

    I had oil leaking past the intake bolts on my 64 C 10... think the 350 is from a 74 maybe. Found out it is actually a common problem, although it was the first time it had happened to me. I use red hitemp silicone now and haven't had the problem since.
