i have a head from a later car that had air pump. i have the hex head bolts (m10 x 50mm x 1.0 mm) to close the holes. should i use some kind of sealant on the threads?
the hex head bolts need to be turned to correct angle so as to clear the manifolds, which is good because they can not back out. what do you think i should do?

only if the heads are off, then you can have then filled.
You want to drill out and install the breather tubes, Dave or the backpressure will blow out the valve cover gasket and the pushrod tubes.
