What do you mean 'leaking?'

bolts leak?

Rizza757

leaking at the heads of the bolts i have absolutly no water in the oil and also no oil in the water.

your supposed to use a sealer on the bolts in the block, and a moly lube at the heads for torquing

is it safe to remove the head bolts that i have leaking,clean them and use the proper sealer and lube if i do it one at the time? what really upsets me is that i am a tech and i ordered a 308 long block. i assembled the rest of the engine and installed and tuned it myself with no problems from my workmanship.but on there workmanship the timing cover is leaking oil and i had 6 leaking head bolts after torquing myself i got 3 to stop and 1 with jus residual but 2 of them after sitting i can see small amount of puddling around the head of the bolt which of coarse means it trickling down the side of the block. it worries me[:@][:@]
