[QUOTE="tenor7, post: 10565630, member: 38485"] About 3 years ago i put AFR heads on my 302 in my 88 GT. Right away i noticed a little coolant very slowley seeping from some of the head bolts (all were the lower ones that hit the water jacket). Fast forward to today, now there seems to be coolant coming from all the lower head bolts and i can smell coolant when stopped at lights. My question is this, would it be O.K. to remove one headbolt at a time, reseal the threads, reinstall it, then re-torque it. I want to do this so i do not have to remove the heads just to re-seal the headbolt threads. [/QUOTE]
