[QUOTE="lincolnlocker, post: 1043374, member: 944"] how could that be? it was tq'd to spec and then hot retq'd by mike himself.. wouldnt think they would crack. but there still shouldn't be coolant coming out of there unless head or block is cracked or gasket is jacked right? I dont know weather or not the stud goes through a coolant passage due to not knowing what the internals look like or how coolant flows through any of it. I have never had to mess with that aspect of a 7.3... what part should the dope go on? just the top where the nut is or threads on the block side too? I would think that it could potentially hurt whatever is cracked worse.. but again, I have never had to deal with this issue. [/QUOTE]
