ARP THREAD SEALANT (teflon in a tube) will not work on head studs. I tried it on a SB stroker and could not get them to stop leaking. I had coolant seeping through every one. I asked my machine shop and they said to only use red locktite. I followed their recommendations and had no problems.

You can pull the bolts one at a time and retorque each one. If you have a 502, the bojlt holes are blind and don't have to have any sealer. If you have holes that go into the water jacket, put a small amount of sealer on the underhead of the bolt and under the washer, if you have one. This will stop the water, but can cause rusted head bolts that can be murder to remove.
