Thanks for that advice Clare as I don't generally deal with threadlockers.

I saw your post only after I returned from the parts trip, where I had
already picked up Loctite Red 271 and Permatex Red, and Loctite Blue 242
and Permatex Blue based on what the two different parts stores told me to
get when I asked what they put on flywheels and bellhousing bolts.

Somewhere I read we have to FIPG the rear main oil seal, but now I think
they mean to put FIPG in place of that paper gasket under the cover that
holds the rear main oil seal.

I had already picked up this high temperature Permatex "gasket maker",
where the purpose one is called Permatex Ultra Synthetic Gasket Maker"
which "resists up to 500d F intermittent" and the Red RTF High Temp Gasket
Maker says "resists up to 650d F intermittent".

I didn't know to pick up the primer. I'll have to go back tomorrow to get
that primer (do you think carb cleaner or acetone will work?)

I don't mind doing things the right way - but I just have to know what the
right way is, where I didn't know about the primer until this moment.
