i know something was just posted on this but i can't find it. what sealants do you use when assembling from a shortblock?
here's what i was thinkning:
valve covers and oil pan - the right stuff with cork gaskets
headers - cooper rtv
intake - permatex ultra gray around intake water ports and bolts, and right stuff for the ends
water pump/timing cover - permatex ultra gray for water pump and around the water ports in the timing cover and on the bolts. rest of the timing cover gasket dry or with a light coat of the right stuff
heads - teflon paste on the head bolts or #2, moly lube on the washers and bolt heads (arp)
am i missing anything?
