    I was wondering what sealant to use on the snout and rotor pack. I know its anaerobic but i'm not sure what that means. Is it the stuff that doesn't dry? Anyone have a part number?

    I bought a nonhardening sealant. Permatex item number 80016. Would this work?

    I got away with ultra black but i also did let it dry with no oil overnight while i got the headers and everything squared away. one day actually turned into 4 as i went through 2 dipsticks on the header install.

    It sealed.

    However the proper method is to use is the GM sealant or permatex anaerobic sealant.
