My son and I are completing a 350 TPI motor from 1988.  What is a good head bolt sealer we can use. The manual calls out , that the head bolts need a sealer on the threads.

   I would go to any parts store and get some good sealer and a can of spray sealer with copper flakes in it so you can spray it on the head gaskets not on the block or head just the gaskets. and on the bolt threads or use a sealer with a brush on the bolts. do not forget to tourque the heads
75 lbs on the long bolts
65-68 lbs on the short bolts
