Intake bolt leak

[mjaugus]

Fired up new engine today.Driver side front intake stud leaking coolant.In my haste probably didn't apply sealant to threads.Do the threads have to be dry for sealant to work.Applied thread sealant when wet an leak persisted.I'll try again tomorrow when dry,but does anyone know for sure.

usually a small amount of rtv silicone is all you need. Same stuff you use to seal the lower intake on the front/back of the block.

Yup,thats what I did.I just didn't want to wait for the stuff to cure.When things start to roll,you hate to stop.Thanks
