What's the best thing to use on the threads to keep engine oil from seeping out? I've had this manifold on for several years and two of the inner bolts decided to start to leaking. I tried black Permatex but that only sealed up one bolt. The other still wants to seep. This is on my 383 engine. 2010 Black Challenger SE <> 3.5 V6 Custom Shift Knobs www.flameball.com Check It Out

PS, I might switch to stainless steal bolts. ?? Last edited by Junky; 04/12/14 12:48 PM. 2010 Black Challenger SE <> 3.5 V6 Custom Shift Knobs www.flameball.com Check It Out
