Default AN Big Sucker Question

I know that threadlocker should be put on the bolts, but what about the head breather bolts? Don't want to clog up the breathing system. Thanks

Just a dab of blue will do ya on all of the bolts....I just installed one this past weekend on my 08 SG and the o rings they sent me were about .125 to big for the recessed points they go into.....I happened to have a o ring set from Harbor Freight, foundfour that actually fit and installed them. I also painted the back side of my backing plate with buzz can "black trim paint" by duplicolor, mask off the gasket area b4 painting.The black looksalot better than the silver would have on my SG.
