hey guys,
i've always been slightly confused on what types of things to use sealant, threadlocker, grease, etc on.. ive got all the stuff needed to put my engine back together (intake runners, tin, injectors, throttle body and air cleaner etc) and was wondering if someone could list what all needed some kind of sealant or anti-seize type stuff before reinstallation. in particular: valve covers intake runner gaskets oil filler gasket and when reinstalling the air injection tubes into the head, should i put some anti-seize stuff? and what is the correct torque for that? thanks all.. any odds and ends i may have forgotten, feel free to add on (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

No. No sealer on the intake gaskets (that's what the paper is there for). Maybe a thin coat of Permatex "Ultra Blue, if you just can't stop yourself. Nothing on the cork oil filler gasket. I use a product called "Gasgacinch" for the VC gaskets, a thin coat on the VC, and a thin coat on the VC side of the gasket, air dried until they're both tacky, then pressed together. NO conventional RTV ANYWHERE on the engine. We have a name for engines "sealed" with RTV. We call 'em "leakers". The Cap'n
