I have a 98 5litre v8 vt and was wondering on the cylinder bolt nuts if on the threads i could use non genuine headstud sealant, the holden stuff costs 50 dollars. Could i use any locktight and which ONE speicifically is good to seal the nuts. Is after lock okay or some other locktite. Is there something else i could use and what stregnth is required. Thanks.

The sealant is to keep the water in not to lock the thread so I don't think you need a locking stuff, but any thread sealant should be OK. Read the recommendations on the packet or ask the shop assistant. Don't forget it is vital to get new bolts as they

I purchased genuine GMH sealant at my local super cheap store....cost me $18.......I believe it`s still the best head bolt sealant you can buy.
