Two of the 7 studs on a little Continental flathead have the studs threaded into the engine water jackets. These two studs were removed when taking off the manifold because the nuts were frozen on the studs. After reassembling the engine and running it, those two studs are leaking coolant. Any fixes? I have talked to some who recommend Devcon, JB Weld, Locktite, High Temp Silicon, Permatex gasket stuff, and even plumbers pipe thread dope (containing lead). Which one of these should I use, or is there something better yet?

JAnd put the nuts on with a hi-temp anti-seize.

Remove the stud and nut , remove the nut from the stud , install the stud properly and with sealer, then install nut and torque to proper torque .

Actually, I was asking as to what is the proper thread sealer to use.

Most any sealer is good , if the stud is screwed in to where the threads tighten ,it becomes its' own seal much like a pipe thread .

No big deal. Drain the coolant, remove the studs, clean and dry the studs and the holes. Reassemble with some good thread sealant, such as Permatex thread sealant. End of problem.
