rocker stud sealant

Tried doing a search but didnt find anything. Just got my heads back from machine shop and I had them drill and tap for screw in rocker studs. Question is whats good to use for a sealant on them? Never had screw im studs before. There sbc iron heads. Machine shop told me to use indian head on the threads but I thought indian head was for gaskets as ive used it on my intake gaskets a lot for vacuum leaks

Re: rocker stud sealant

I heard the loctite thread sealant kinda sucked and will still give you leaks. Dont have any experience with it. I just read it on other forums
