Hey everyone,
Wondering if any of you have come across this issue.I recently fired up my rebuilt 318 and the front and rear exhaust (header) bolts were leaking coolant from around the threads? I wasn't aware that dodge runs these into the water jackets? I'm gonna pull all 4 or 8 bolts out tomorrow and either use thread sealant or rtv. Is this a common occurrence or is there something wrong?This is my first dodge,i've have been a GM for a long time and never had this issue with them.
