Looks I should use the sealant on all bolts, seems like every one has access to the water jackets. Found this out by blowing compressed air in the holes to clean them out. Also chased all the threads; and, you do NOT need a bottoming-tap for this block, the tapped holes go through the deck.

Here's my choices, probably going to use the Permatex #2.
