I assume this in on a small block? If so, no sealer as none of them go into cooolant, and personally I've always just put them in dry after nicely cleaning the threads---never had an issue.

454 small block?........'splain please....
I was let's just say, a bit lazy, never read the header, just the text in your post. I figured it was on a stock 64 Pontiac. Clicked on the link, read the text, replied with what I thought was a proper answer, screwed it up, got my spanking, moved on...

You Loved Our 434/765HP Engine But Like All Good Racers You Wanted MORE!! We Reached Into Our Bag Of Tricks And Came Up With This 454 Torque Monster That Makes 800HP With All The Reliability That 23° Head Engines Are Famous For. The Raised BBC Cam Core Lets Us Run A Much More Aggressive Cam Profile While Actually Increasing Valve Train Stability.
Ok,thanks......I'm used to working on Pontiac V-8's.....
On a small block Chevrolet.....the head bolts require thread sealer....but intake bolts don't?
On small & big block Chevrolet's, the head bolts require thread sealer as some of the bolts go through the deck of the block and into the water passages. The intake bolts just go into the head. As such, no thread sealer required on the intake bolts.
