Thread sealant for exhaust studs

Hello.
I am looking for advice on thread sealants. I am restoring an old 1982 Fiat 124 Spyder. The exhaust studs go through the head into the oil chambers. They apparently leaked when new 40 years ago and are leaking pretty good now. I am going to pull the studs, clean both areas and then will reinsert them. Looking for recommends on the best high temp thread sealant for this application.
Thanks
Steve

Loctite 592 for high temp sealant that you want to solidify in place.

What we use in ultra-high temp environments is Loctite HL235579 Fixmaster 2000 Putty.
Anything exhaust related such as damaged 964 exhaust port liners.
