Without blanketing the statement by saying "use thread sealant on every bolt," which bolts on the front of the 7-bolt engine should have thread sealant applied? I'm aware of the balance shaft tensioner bolt needing it, but jumped the gun and bolted up my front cover without fully inspecting the threads. I'm using blue loc-tite and torquing-to-spec on everything that I can since I've eliminated the balance shafts, but I don't recall if there are additional bolts on the front cover besides the BS Tensioner pulley that need sealant on the threads.

Searching has turned up very little now that photobucket is dead.
