I heard horror stories about headstuds leaking after assembly. This is great. Recommendation from my machinist. Neither a leak nor a crack has been detected. The sealant is also great for screwing the bolts to the water pump on an SBF to prevent corrosion. It is something you should know if you have worked on many of these. I really like this product.

Sealants such as this are excellent for head bolts and similar fasteners that penetrate the water jacket in vintage auto engines and similar items. While it provides the seal necessary for tightening bolts properly, it also allows for proper torqueing.
Even though it is expensive, this bolt head sealant is highly effective!.
It seals any bolt thread perfectly, and it also keeps this original torque when you tighten. In my wood shop, I use this stuff on metal screws. In my experience, it works great as a lubricant in hard wood pre-drilled applications and remains effective.
I found no signs of leakage after utilising the fuel system. I found it easy to apply and it stuck well to the threads.
It works great, but is quite pricey. However, we recommend this for anyone replacing an engine head gasket.
