I am about to install my motor in two weeks. I have a couple general questions.



1. What should I put Lok Tite on. I know about the flywheel bolt and clutch bolts, what else? water pump, t-stat housing, LIM????

2. What should I put antiseize on? DP, all exhaust manifolds?

3. What shoudl I use silicone sealant on with or without gaskets? Also what kind of silicone, Hondabond for everything that would need it?



Thanks

Let me see if I can remember. I just did this not too long ago.



First off dont put lok tite on any of those things you mentioned. I put silicone on the water pump and thermostat only because I was told by a long time rotary builder.



Put antiseize on all your exhaust pipes. I even put it on the bolts to the exhaust manifold.

As for the silicone I made the mistake of putting it on the oil pan along with the gasket. Scrape all the old crap off and just use the sealant. Those gaskets are pointless. Just make sure the surface is clean.
