    I know these need sealant such as PTFE or teflon tape, which is why I used PTFE on them. But, one of the studs is leaking coolant anyway.

    Has anyone ever just removed one stud, chased, taped, reinstalled and torqued instead of removing the whole head? Did it work out? Obviously I'll need to drain the coolant.

    I'm not looking for opinions on what could happen, just actual experiences.

    I found at least one LS1 guy that did it without issue, Looking for someone with the same experience on a 3800.

    TIA
