It has been about 7 or 8 years since I assembled a buick v6 for my Designer edition T-Type and I am rusty. I have a few questions about my engine assembly.
1. What do I use on my intake gasket to seal? Procedure for installation?
2. Do I use any sealer on my front cover gasket to block? I have a girdle so what do I use between the front cover and the girdle to seal?
3. I am using my used double roller timing chain (5k on it) and it has some chain slop. How much is too much?
4. Best gasket for headers?
5. Should I prime the engine on the stand or in the car? (procedure)
6. What oil additives should I use during and after break in.
7. Is it still 2,000 rpm for 20 min for break in? (standard 224/224 cam)
8. What is the best way to assure the 219 foot pounds of torque is on the harmonic balancer bolt and do I use loctite and what color?
Thanks for the help,
Larry
