Hi All,

I removed baffles to powder coat the cover and do I need to re-add atf sealer? if so, which one will you recommend?

thank you for your time

 

Personally I did not add any sealer, only red Loctite for the bolts to hold the baffles. I have a ~2000 miles without issues, just pulled the motor to work on another issue and none of my bolts are out of place. I'll be re-powder coating the valve cover again and doing the same thing.

 

I haven't ever done a X, but on my 9, I did as Eric said. Red Locktite on the bolts and a "scratch" on the bolt and baffle to check for movement over time. I have about 10k miles on mine and the bolts haven't moved at all.

 

sorry for the late response, and yes thank you very much, this confirms my question

 

with red locktite - my allen wrench would slip if I try to remove my fasteners!!
