head bolt question

[montyd]

I'm in the middle of putting my heads back on. And the note that came with my new head bolts say to put sealer on the bolts that go in the water jackets. My question is do any of them go into the water jackets? None of my old bolts have sealer on them so I'm guessing they don't need it. Just trying to double check. Thanks!

Not needed.

Shop manual says to "The new cylinder head bolts must be lightly oiled with a rag, and allowed to drain for a few minutes prior to installation."

FYI....
There are six (6) stages to to tightening the bolts.

I have all the specs on how to tighten them that I pulled from Mitchell at work and the bolts came with the sequence also
