Engine out question

Ok so I have my 348 engine out and received my parts from Daniel (Thanks for the hat!) and I searched for the answer of this question and no real clear answer-

Should I or should I not use sealant at the cam seal area and cam covers. I don't need to shim the cams so I was not going to remove them. The seals are the newer design with the relief notch in them and really no leaks from that area, so have at it, sealant or not, what say the group.....

One last question anyone remember the torque setting of the cam cover nuts and rear cam seal bolts and nuts

 

Have your cam carriers been drilled for the oil drain back hole? I can loan you the jig if you need it...

(btw, I guess we should have sent you a hat from our "Polar Collection" judging from your pictures!)

 

It's a 95 so if I understand it was an update done by the factory, so I think I'm covered with the relief oil drain back hole.

It's a great hat, the white hat with the red logo is perfect, so they can find me in a snow bank if needed.

I don't know the torque right off, but the link above will let you download the shop manual, which has all the torque values in it.
