Loctite double check

Just so's I'm clear...while putting cams in, the crank sprocket bolt gets red loctite and all other bolts get blue?

dawg, Both the cam and crank gear bolts get red loctite. Torque the crank bolt to 30 ft lbs and the cam bolt to 35 ft lbs. all other bolts in the cam compartment and cover get blue.

Just thinkof it this way use red loctite on anything you don't want to ever come apart. Blue loc tite is easier to remove.
