00 ram 1500 replacing rear main seal question
ok thanks
so i oilled the ring and slipped it up the half and then the other half i put a dab of the antibiotic flange sealant on each end and put it up inside the block as i off set it so part will sit in the lower cup and upper block
then i put i put antibotic sealant on cup by where the seal is and then the rtv black beside it where it spreads some into gasket hopefully i put enough in and i then tightnened it down to 85foot pounds ... now ill do the pump at 35 and pan at 15 and i dipped the bolts in oil didnt use locktite for the 85 and pump bolts
oh and i took the plate off that bolts to the crank shaft that you bolt the torqu converter to i going to use locktite on that but how tight are those i couldnt find specs for those bolts

i have question
how do you know when to use locktite and when not to.. for that flex plate thing you said 55 pounds and i used locktite as they had some green locktite on there
but the bearing cap and oil pan i didnt use no locktite just some some oil.. but there is no lock washers.. does it not come loose without the locktite or is it because i did 85 foot pounds that it wont come loose and 35 for the oil pump
as i not sure
