So i got my engine running yesterday (yay!), but i got a leak from one of the thermostat housing bolts.Its the ones that have the studs from the factory but my housing was seized on so i pounded it off, bending the studs in the process.I replaced the studs with bolts, but now there is antifreeze leaking from the top bolt.Was i suppose to put thread sealant in it?if i remember right it was just a blind hole.I'm worried i cracked it when i hammered it off.Any input?
