Another bolt sealant question
I’m doing an intake swap. The valley pan from my RV 440 had some minor oil pooling. There was no sealant on any intake bolts.. so I’m assuming that’s where much of the oil came from.
I have some stainless intake bolts that I’d like to use. Permatex Aluminum Anti-seize is recommended for these bolts. BUT, is the anti-seize any good for stopping oil wicking?
Here are my options.. I’m thinking just to use the Permatex #2 (seems to be the consensus winner) and skip the anti-seize for this application of the bolts.
