Thread sealer

I am installing my noss head and it says thread sealer is a good idea. WTF is thread sealer? Thanks.

Red RTV gasket maker? To prevent leaks thru the threads.

That is Lock tight. RTV isnt a thread sealer. It is just Silicone.

 

The only thing I use on my cool head is teflon tape where the studs screw in to the cylinders. The O rings seal the head up.

I picked up a tube that said exactly that.(Thread Sealer) at Checker.

Not every time...I've always had a problem sealing the aftermarket heads. With RTV, without, with grease, without, dry...etc.

I would use high temp thread sealer, just like I put on my Differential drain bolt on my truck...

 

However I have never used thead sealer on my noss head the O-rings seal everythign right up. So much in fact that they smash down and need to be replaced every time. (not all of them just the ones around the studs.).
