Subject:head nut sealer
From:James Ruch

Hi All

Sorry 'bout beating an old subject to death but I'm beginning to tug at my
hair here (not quite pulling it out yet).

I've about given up on getting some "yellow head nut sealer" and I've not
been able to find an alternative (ie: permatex super grey).  Everything I've
looked at/been pointed toward has been some type of thread treatment.

Can someone please tell me what the purpose of the yellow stuff is?  I can't
imagine that it will prevent coolant leakage... is it supposed to prevent
electolytic phenomena or what.

I'm thinking about reassembling without it... or coming up with my own
alternative solution.  My reassembly has been held-up for three weeks
because of this (Grrrr)!  Thanks.
