Cylinder Head studs

[sbs]

Working on A 1955 John Deere 60. What is the best way to seal the threads on the cylinder head studs on the block side so they will not leak coolant? Thank you for your help.

The studs have an interference thread on one end. That goes in the block. That should seal it up.

SBS, as a precaution I put some #3 Permatex on the threads. Mike
