We have usd ARP with red loctite for pickup tube and pump to block. The pump cover plate I like to use allen bolts and drill for lock wire. The standard style bolts with lock washers and blue loctite should work fine also. Just be sure with the loctite that the threads are nice and clean and dry before applying. ;)

Although the filter was clean the bearings can be
damaged.Without pick up the pump could not
pump any oil with metal shavings in to the filter
so check atleast the bearing most downstream
from the pump

The green is badass.  Heat won't touch that stuff.  You need explosives!  :)

I didn't know we had Loctite drinkers here, I thought we were limited to engine BraKleen inhalers and silicone sniffers.  This is truly an equal opportunity forum  ;D

I will pull the 4 and 8 rod caps and check the bearings before I put things back together.

You forgot the all important Cam2, Supreme, AV gas, or other fuels and flammable liquids. ;)
Personally, I like a little anti-seize on my toast.....
