Time to start over and punt on my block?

Not even close, maybe 500 at the very most.

In other news, I just happen to have a fresh tube of this stuff around.

I wouldn’t use that I’ve tried it on my water pump bolts and it still wept coolant out. I found that stuff as no flex and goes flaky when dried and will leak through vibration it would allow coolant to pass through . Ended up using aviation cement non hardening for removal.
