I just got my motor runing and I noticed a few problems. Its a 331 with heads cam and intake. I noticed a few of the head studs are leaking coolant all over the place.I guess the builder forgot to use seanat on them. My question is can I remove the studs 1 by 1 and re-seal them or do I have to remove the heads to do this? Another problem is the brake pedal gets real soft at idle like theres no brakes but when its in gear it feels normal. I was told it was do to the cam not producing enough vacuum. What can fix this issue without changing the cam?
