Water leak question
I used a product like this...
Probably the same as post #3 but if memory serves me it was more liquid like Loctite than thick like gasket sealer.
I also put RTV in the hole of the timing cover and water pump (not the threads) of the wet bolts to help keep them from rusting should it leak. I had one of the wet bolts break off due to it being thinned but rust and corrosion. Luckily it was sticking out enough to wrench it out.
