I did not use any type of sealer on the gasket since it did not call for any. I did clean the threads on the head bolts, however I did not re-tap the block threads. This is a c-123 international engine off of a IH 240 does anyone know if the head bolts go into the water jacket? The service manual did not say anything about putting sealant on the head bolts. I did re-torque the bolt today I found one that may have had several lbs. less torque than the rest but nothing severe. I don't know what could have happened this is all pretty straight forward I am certain the gasket is on right side up and I assume it didn't require sealnt since it did not call for any. What do you guys think about torquing the head bolts say another 10lbs?
