im currently doing my rear main for the first time.
i needed to unbolt the trackbar, front shocks, swaybars and grind some of the control arm mounts to finally pull the pan
both halfs of the new seals are in place and oriented correctly.
heres my question. will blue RTV work for the main bearing cap?
i got that image off of gojeep's tutorial (which i must say is amazing, along with jason's/jeepin and 5-90's)
is it absolutely critical i rtv this surface? if so will the blue rtv be sufficient?
i ahve some black silicone sealer but not "RTV", its made by permatex but apparently is not what i need. i would run to the store and pick up a tube fo the stuff but my daily driver is out of commission until this job is complete.
torque specs on the main bearing cap are 40, then 60 then 80 correct? the small sump bolts are 7ft lbs and teh large ones are 11?
any input appreciated :looney:
