Hi,
I'm putting together my first 360 engine. It's an LA engine, late 80's block. All done by the book, all going well. After I'd put the factory heads on I saw in the gasket set instructions to seal most of the head bolts because they go into the water jacket. (Which, btw, seems nuts) There was no mention of that in my rebuild book. I'm not against taking the heads off again to redo the bolts but the fact it's not mentioned in my book makes me wonder if I really need to? Cheers
