Re: Sealing 383 exhaust studs

[Jim Jablonski <groovinjim@xxxxxxx>]

When I put my motor together I used Earl’s pipe sealant on the exhaust studs and unfortunately it leaked just enough to steam a little once the engine warmed up.  I switched to Ultra Copper and the problem is solved.

Unfortunately to do so I had to remove the headers but lesson learned.

I've not done it but I've heard about using pipe thread compound, like the stuff used in high temperature heater boilers,

which supposedly only requires coating the bolts and installing. When using high temp sealants like Permatex (red

copper etc.) "dry and clean" is the condition required for the bolt hole. Then let the car sit overnight before starting the

engine.
