340 Intake Bolt Question

[Daveh]

Hey guys,

Quick Question.  On a 340 does the drivers side front intake bolt need sealant?  The one closest to the radiator.  Does coolant or oil go up that far?  Thanks

I put sealant on all of the bolts but because of oil seeping up the htreads , no coolant is exposed to the intake threads just the end exhaust studs on the small block

Great thanks

You're thinking Chevys. I know the big blocks were wet intake bolt-wise at the ends.
