Hi William. I used anti-sieze on the studs and no sealer on the manifold
gasket. It has held up so far.
Did you buy new studs? I and others have had troubles with the copper-coated
studs that Moss and possibly others were selling. They strip. At least with me
this was not due to lack of care. The nuts were threaded properly and I was
using a torque wrench. Just a warning.
