Yet another issue
So I have been working out some problems with my new setup and I think all is well. Come to find out my head studs are "weaping" and there is antifreeze getting into the motor (mostly under the valve cover area if not all) I am pissed because I used the ARP thread sealer on all ofthe studs even though some are blind holes I believe just to play it safe. I dont know really what to do. I know some people might flame me for this but should I try that Bars Stop Leak stuff and has anybody used it to stop leaking head studs? If not this could I just pull one stud out at a time and replace them with bolts? If I took one out would I just instantly torque it right back to spec and then take the next one out and continue on that way? If I do it this way do I need to drain the block or would it be fine with the ARP bolts just to thread them in because bolts are much less likely to leak. Thanks for the helps guys!!
