working on my rebuild.
when i sent my case out to be flattened and align bored the shop removed various studs, like the Int shaft cover studs and tranny mount studs. when reinstalling these, should i use red locktite? thanks

You dont want to locktite the bell housing because you pull them to set up the engine stand.
The intermediate shaft needs to be casesaved because it will pull out, be sure thats done. Bruce |

bruce ,the case savers have been done.
i'm referring to the perimeter bolts and tranny mounts. what you say about the mounts makes sense, although when i tore the engine down i used bronze bushings and some washers to use the tranny bolts to mount to my stand. now i'm reassembling the engine, should i locktite the case studs ? i will red locktite the head studs.

Perimeter bolts I would use blue, make them so they dont fall out. I never red locktite anything, but I have used a torch to undo what others have done.
