Default '90 Roller Block - Need Help with Crank

The only manual I have is for my '84. The '84 has a 2-piece RMS... the '90 block I have in there is a 1-piece RMS.

I put my crank in and torqued all the bolts to spec on the caps.

I just recently was browsing my manual when I came accross a picture showin the rear cap had to have sealant allpied around the bolt holes.

Is this also true for the '90 block?

Also, if I take it apart and put the sealant there, can I use the bearings I just put in? Or by taking them out does that wreck them?

Thanks!

-Mike :cheers:

So, let me get this straight: You managed to get the '84 two piece crank into a '90 block? How did you get the rear seal retainer around the end of the crank?

Where did you get that from? :eek:

I have a '90 Roller Block with a 1 piece RMS. Does the farthest back cap need sealant applied? Thanks!
