I'm installing the heads on my SBC. I bought a set of new bolts from Sealed Power that have a white coating on the threads. Everything I've read says 2 things...
1 - Some if not all head bolts need some sort of sealant. I've seen teflon and RTV both recomended.
2 - Oil the threads to lubricate them so you get the right torque.
I assume the white stuff on the bolt threads is some sort of teflon sealant. Do I still need to oil the threads during installation or does the white compound lubricate and seal?
