While putting some new parts on this engine (455), can anyone tell me with some authority whish bolts should get:

1) Lock tite

2) Anti Sieze

3) Nothing....

Thanks alot for your help.

Toy4chris if you snapped the bolt off putting it back in then you simply over tighten it. anti sieze would have helped you get it out, not in. grease is as good as any anti sieze for alum. that you can use and any kind of good anti sieze on steel. use the lock tight on flywheel bolts or anything thats turning or thats flexing.
