Short Vs. Long Head Bolt Locations


Recommended Posts

I've searched high & low and have not been able to locate the proper placement of the "longer" head bolts.  The FSM states there are different sizes, although there are no pictures/guides.  I did order a new set of 280zx turbo bolts which I've heard are stronger than the ones I pulled out of my '72 240z (e88 head).  

 

Can someone please point me in the direction of where the longer ones should go?  Thanks.

I read something the other day about putting aviation gasket maker on the threads of the head bolts to keep coolant from settling down there and crudding up the threads.  Has anybody else heard of such?  I know anti-seize will affect the final torque reading but what about aviation sealer?
