well since i bought it i will just use this on all the threads and oil under the bolt headson head bolts i have never used sealant, and never had an issue with coolant leaking. i would just use oil on the threads and under the bolt head to get a proper torque reading.
ok so antisieze is fine for the long bolts and under head of all bolts or just use oil? i know different guys use different things and have different opinions though lolYes, that's the right stuff. You bought the lifetime supply.

And the answer is...
The cylinder head bolts are reusable, but some new ARP bolts are a better plan. Be aware that the ARP bolts have a radiused shank under the bolt head. The ARP washers have a matching radius machined into them. Be sure that the machined radius of the washer is fitted next to the machined radius on the ARP bolt heads. Forget this little fact and you will never get the head bolts to torque down properly.
Coat the underside of all bolt heads with anti seize and the threads of the long bolts. The short bolts thread directly into the water jacket and need a different treatment. Use Teflon Pipe dope on the threads of the short head bolts. It will prevent any coolant seepage from around the threads. You can get the Teflon pipe dope from the hardware stores, Home Depot or Lowes.
on the header bolts to head as well as header to x pipe?My preference is antiseize, the NAPA brand is what I have used in the past. The 1 pound can works good and lasts a long time. Be sure to use lots of antiseize on the exhaust bolts.
i put the permatex sealer with ptfe on the short bolts and motor oil under all bolt heads and washers as well as the threads of the long bolts.yes- antisieze on all bolts
