Loctite

[Dino]

I'll use blue Loctite 242 on the cam bolt and oil on the head bolts. Do I need any type of Loctite anywhere else? Oil pan or timing cover maybe?

I use it on the oil pan bolts, if not they get loose.

[Dino]

I should probably do the same to the timing cover bolts then?

I guess water pump bolts and such just need some oil? Heck I can do Loctite on all of them if needed!

[cdr]

no loctite on the other bolts.

[Dino]

Alright, less mess to make then!

I like to use Loctite on the Tq converter bolts 

For the waterpump housing bolts that go into the water jacket I use Ultra Copper RTV 

Intake manifold and exhaust manifold bolts also get the "Copper treatment"

Oh good point! Do I use the blue loctite on the tq converter bolts as well?

I did plan on using ultra copper on those other bolts. I learned that lesson the hard way!

Ron is correct, i forgot you had your car that far apart, blue on the converter & flex plate bolts
