I'm putting my 22re back together. Which bolts do I thread lock and which get antisieze? Does the exhaust manifold get antisieze? Do the head/rockerarm assembly bolts get threadlock? Is there a general list?

Also, any gasket removal advice?

Thanks,


Dean


Well, for me personally, I locktite the head and exhaust bolts. As a general rule of thumb, I'll locktite any bolts that I know aren't coming back apart anytime soon. I usually
Anti-Seize caliper, wheel studs, spark-plugs and such, because of their nature to freeze up. Also it helps them thread easier. As far as gasket removal, a razer blade and patience works well, just watch out for your fingers <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />. Torqueing everything to proper specs is also a must.
