Good tip on the grease Donnie... you can suppliment the grease with a
magnet
placed below the hole to catch anything that sneaks past the grease.
Be aware that grease in the threads will cause more clamping pressure
(more
bolt stretch) at a given torque, so be sure not to overtighten the bolts.

Always. Put some grease on the tap so it catches the debris and it does
not
fall back into the motor. DONT FORCE THE TAP. Tight is tight, too tight is
broke.
Thanks

Any reason NOT to chase the intake manifold threads ( or any others
for that matter ) before I reinstall? I'm resealing the intake, timing
cover and water pump.
Thanks,
Brian
