What to put on bolts

[93ragtop]

I wanted to ask, other then oil, or engine assy. lube, what should be used on bolts in re-assembly of a magnum motor?
I think, locktite on cam bolts, and gasket sealant on water pump bolts....
Am I missing anything else?
Thanks

End L&R exhaust manifold studs or bolts if your not using studs.

Some timing cover bolts too. I used a piece of wire to see which go into water jackets.

Bitter taste of defeat! So much coolant in the oil pan.

And a wipe of RTV on the core/freeze plug holes before you drive the plugs in.

Motor oil, dipped and lightly wiped off.

Blow air through a coolant passage while waiving your hand over those holes.

Im sorry, I am so late getting back to thank everyone for their advice. So far, I got the freeze plugs installed, and the cam bearings.
Again, thanks for the advice.
