coolant ever leak out of headbolts?

i have been told to never us locktite on head bolts. my buddy just used ARP threadsealer on his ARP headstuds and they leak coolant. His was not on a LS1, but another 350. I am trying to prevent this on my LS1. I am not sure what to use....

LS1 headbolts are dry, they do not go thru the waterjacket. No sealer necessary.
