• I have the crank out of the aaz block.......taking to a machinist for nose repair.
   When I go to install, is there something better than just motor oil to lube the journals and cap bearings with?, considering that this engine is a fresh rebuild and has zero run time.
  
  Also, the new crank sprocket bolt, apply motor oil or red Loctite? or? I read that VW uses *something* other than oil now.....a thread locking compound of some sort?
  
  Thanks.
