7.3 head stud question

[Smokin 6.0]

Does anyone know if any of the head bolts prutrude into water jackets and require thread sealent ? If so which ones would help greatly. The threads on all my factory bolts looked good like they were never in water is why I'm asking. Thanks

Ive done mine and helped several others with their trucks, and I've never used any type of sealant.

Awesome that's what i wanted to hear. Just finished studding one last night and didn't do it and wanted to make sure I wasn't gunna pay for it

Nope. Just thread them in and torque them down

They're blind holes. Before installing the studs, chase the threads.
