Farmall H water jacket leaking

Put a new water jacket cover on and gasket along with a little gaskets sealant. Antifreeze is seeping out all around the bolt hole and the outside cover. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get it to stop leaking. Should I put sealant on the bolts ?

Thanks Dan
 
The bolts go into the water jacket and need sealed, the new covers are REAL thin, I ended up sealing mine wth RTV.
 
Get some Mendite from Car Quest and dump in it when it is warmed up and then run it for a while so that it circultes good. It is liquid and will not plug cores.
 
Tell you what I did, and it may or may not work for anybody else. And it may not work for me tomorrow, I don't know. But I was painting my H, and I had sanded everythng, and scraped, and wire-brushed. And the water jacket began to leak. I was afraid of doing anything, I figured the bolts would snap off, and I'd be stuck.
I just painted over it, with CaseIH spray paint. Sprayed on a few good heavy coats. The leaks have stopped as of today, and it's been a few years. I guess it seeped in.
