    I'm assuming that old dried and hard thread sealant should come off before reinstalling the bolts. I tried threading a 5/16-18 nut onto the rocker arm bolt and the nut hits a brick wall when it gets to the thread sealant. A hand wire brush does not put a dent in it. Should I try soaking the bolts in M.E.K. ?
