Six or eight?

On the six, the frontest drivers-side-mostest head bolt hole in the block runs 
into the water jacket, and needs to be sealed. Personally I wouldn't trust 
RTV there unless you're certain it's 100% grease free, which is pretty much 
impossible if you oil the threads as required. The TSM says "sealer" I think 
(too lazy to go look :-) but I use one of those non-hardening Permatex type 
gasket sealers. Never had a leak.
