Thread sealant recommend

[4mulas]

Have Eddie E-street heads and notice the intake threads go right through into the head and are not blind. Thinking one should seal the threads to prevent oil weeping up over time.

Any recommends as to what product and name of it too?

Thanks

Not on threads..

no problem, it will work great sealing the threads and stopping oil from wicking up the threads

The ACE Brand TFE Thread Compound works good. Non-Hardning, and all that. A bit thicker than the Loctite stuff. Not sure how it compares to Permatex? Maybe less expensive?
8oz is $8.99

These are all good products. Big thing to watch for is the temp rating; you wanna get hi-temp stuff.

Yep and PTFE will be just fine (it's Teflon, folks).

HYLOMAR
takes the heat best
seals most everything
non hardening and reusable so you do not have to clean if you R&R
DO NOT EVEN THINK OF SILICONE
