I got a coolant leak when I put my heads on, coming from the pass side coolant bleed pipe fitting.

In my Chiltons Manual it says to tighten bolt AND nut. I never took off or saw a nut when taking it off several weeks ago.

When I got my heads back from shop, they gave me a bag with all the rocker arms, the special washers for coolant bleed pipe, and a nut. I had no idea what the nut was from.

Does anyone know and can tell me specifically how to put the pass side coolant pipe/nut, and bolt screw together so I can get my car running!

Thanks in advance.

there is no nut other than the one that holds the bleed pipe tp the intatke manifold that goes on like the 4th intake manifold stud.

The sandwich order goes

bleed pipe bolt head / seal washer / bleed pipe / seal washer / head
torque to 30 ft pounds.

You wanna know how to make coolant go all over the back of your engine...

Forget to tighten those coolant x-over pipes up before you start adding coolant. Don't ask how I know.
