crankcase bolts

Post by Glyn.G »

Hi everyone,
When bolting the GT380 crankcases up do I use any form of anti-seize protection on the threads or just torque them up dry. The only reason I ask is that when undoing them a couple were really tight and difficult to remove. I felt sure I was going to strip the threads out but luckily all were ok.
Cheers for any help in advance.

Threads should always be lubed but don't overtighten them.
