Yes, I do that with the through bolts. For 993 RS and GT3 engines one has to install the lower bolts with the central O ring and leave them in place with the seal ring installed to begin with. I think this minimizes spinning of the O rings and potential damage. I also use the factory tools to pass the seals over the thread and to tap them in place.
Porsche recommends and sells Dreibond 1209 (3 bond) part number 000.043.203.73 now as case sealant, I didn't see that mentioned here, has anyone used this?
