Anyone have the torque spec handy for that aluminum cap that half the rear main seal sits in?
Also, any tips to prevent me from having oil leaks? i.e. what type of sealant do ya recommend smearing around that cap and on those little rectangular gaskets? I was just going to use Felpro copper RTV.
How do you keep oil from seeping past where the two halves of the split seal meet? RTV or just the pressure from the torque of the cap bolts.
I've only built motorcycle engines, so this is my first V8 rebuild. Which reminds me, what exactly holds the camshaft in place? Seems like it could just slip back and forth if the chain loosens a little.
