Engine building guide/Loctite locations

Hello all,

I finally have all my engine shells and bearings after a long months wait and am about ready to assemble the engine.

Does anyone know of a good walkthrough/ guide/ tips on how to put it back together correctly and especially which bolts need loctite and which loctite to use?

It seems all too easy to make a mistake and I am thinking of making a downloadable checklist/guide once I'm done assembling mine to help others too, but if you pros out there can be of any help, that would be great!

I'm fairly confident in putting it back together, but just wanted some reassurance. 

Again any help is greatly appreciated!

I will be updating the build thread soon now it's got some momentum again!

There is only one place that I put thread lock and that is on the two bolts that hold the sprocket to the cam shaft. Just torque everything to the specified ftlb.

Cheers guys, which locate do you use? Red, blue, etc?

On the 400 engine, I also do the two M6 bolts securing the camchain tensioner horseshoe thingy to the crank case.

Cheers,
What about the rubber pads in the crankcase that stop the cam chain hitting the crankcases?
I cant find a torque setting for every bolt, so just tighten it up tight?
