Alright so picked up the heads today,they look snazzy,degreeing the cam tomorrow night and then maybe putting the heads on,do you guys recommend using the ARP thread sealer on the head bolts??When I did the head swap a couple years ago we did so there is still some on the threads,should I order a tube? Or will I be alright?
