Here's the "one more thing" :lol: , I had ordered some Permatex thread sealer from Amazon and it got here lickity split~ however, on the back of the package says works best with the permatex activator, so, no biggy, almost two weeks till it gets here, no one has it. I'd rather wait and do the stud installation the best I can as I DO NOT WANT LEAKS! This time I will install the studs, give a day or less, fill with coolant, pressure test before installing the intake/exh to make darned sure there are no leaks.
And a Merry Christmas to you and all my routy friends;)
