I had to take my engine apart because it was starting to consume a lot of coolant and this will be my first rebuild. I am reusing the stock apex seals since I had perfect compression before taking it apart and I am putting them back in their original locations in each rotor and I have a replacement iron. What sealant do I use for putting the 3 piece apex seals back together, will any loctite work? Also while I have it apart, I am thinking about just giving it a mild street port and am wondering if I am required to port the exhaust, I can find tons of info on intake porting and the templates that I have seen for a SP exhaust don't appear to remove that much material.

Superglue to help hold the pieces of the apex seal together during assembly, sure. That's the old school method.
