[FWDLK] using sealant on bolts

[Bryan Scott <scott1990@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

OK, this water jacket issue seems to have created another thread - using 
sealant on the bolts.  My question is this:  I plan to tap the holes before 
I reinstall a new manifold.  I don't want to re-cut them, just clean them 
out to minimize the chances of stripping the threads due to grit, etc.  Of 
course, that means I'll be using tapping oil.  How do I clean out the oil 
from the threaded hole so the sealant has a clean surface to seal onto? 
Also, I assume orange sealer is the best application here?
