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?

thanks for the input to all. you are right about the breather hose on that side, i can still do that and was wondering if it would be an issue. the engine is assembled so welding it shut is not a option. and taking the tin off someday would be a good idea so i'm still thinking like some lock tight,heat may be a problem (with lock tight).
another thought,should i install the insulator gaskets between the heads and the manifolds? is there an issue there as well?
i just took off the velocity stacks (again) and installed paper gaskets under them.

i belive its good to use a heat isolating gasket between the heads and the intake manifolds.... keeps the mixture cooler....
