Hi all!
I'm from Belgium and it's my first post here.
I have read plenty of threads here which were very helpful for my current project, thank you for that!
I'm in the process of re-assembling my 3.2 engine (Targa MY1984...imported from LA last winter! )

I have one question regarding the nose bearing sealing.

I understand it's recommended to apply a thin layer of Threebond 1211 on both sides of the case.

I guess using Loctite 598 will have the same effect? (beside the fact that it's black!) The only difference I see is that Threebond is non acid. But boths are RTV, right?


No side effect if the sealant goes in the "venting" oil channel (the small lateral groove on the top?)


Since it's recommended to use silicon grease on the o'ring for fitting...How to avoid that both are working against each others? (grease will disturb the drying process, won't it??)

thanks for your help!
