Finishing up on plugging my rms/valve cover oil fountain of youth.
Question in regards to placing lower half of seal into bearing cap. Where did you guys applied anaerobic/rtv ?
I see 3 different guides doing 3 different things:
https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/how-to-replace-a-rear-main-seal-on-a-jeep-4-0-engine.27142/
does what service manual says, which is place the seal into bearing cap dry and apply anaerobic around the edges.
https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/rear-main-seal-replacement-4-0.826/
this one does the same thing, but adds anaerobic at the tips in between seal and cap.
This youtuber goes all out with rtv and covers entire bottom edge of the seal that mates with cap.
Sooooo, what the heck did you guys do?
