Which bolts need to be sealed when doing an engine rebuild? I know the outside/bottom head bolts and the two lower water pump bolts. Are there more?

 

any bolt that goes to water, but i guess you knew that. just so i don't get confussed i seal all head, water pump, fuel pump, intake and the right front motor mount.

 

Yeah, I knew that :lala:
I guess it's better to be safe..
Thanks

 

You also want to use anti-seize on any bolt that screws into aluminum. I even use it on the spark plug threads.

I always use Permatex #2 on the head bolts; teflon tape on all pipe threads (leaving the first two threads bare).

Lock-Tite on torque converter, harmonic dampner, crank pulley, flexplate to crank and camshaft gear bolts.

Hope this helps.

What he said.

I use permatex on all my head bolts too. And don't forget the RTV around the coolant jackets on teh intake manifold

 

That's exactly what I did the first time. I just wanted to make sure it was correct since I'm doing it again.
Thanks
