[V8] Dizzy Seals

[Ron Wainwright]

Don't forget the 13mm bolt that anchors the hard
coolant line on the pass side...side of the head. Rear
most part of head...just beond the last header bolts.

 & I sure don't endorse RTV seal on those coolant
0-rings ;-)
 I would recomend soaking the new 0-rings in some
coolant before you bolt the 10mm nuts back to secure
the line in the rear.
