I'm replacing the rear main seal in my M1008. I found information on it and I'm at the point of putting the main bearing cap back on, but I have a question on this procedure. On the Fel-Pro instructions, it states "apply RTV sealer to the outside edges of the cap recess in the block". I don't know where exactly they mean and don't want to place RTV in the wrong place.
On another document I have, it states"Following the TM, use anaerobic sealing compound on the rear main cap as specified, install rear main cap and torque to spec". Isn't this thread locker? If so, wouldn't they specify placing it on the threads of the bolt instead of the main cap.
I'm lost
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
