Well, I'm down to a few things to button up on my T3 rebuild for my 91 Spirit R/T. Being semi novice to engine rebuilds, I question the proper installation of the front & rear oil galley plugs. Should they be installed "dry" or with some sort of sealer i.e.: Loctite Sleeve Retainer?
Once I get these plugs installed properly, I'll be able to reinstall the engine this weekend. I defiantly don't want to overlook anything in the oil department since this current rebuild was necessary due to an oil pressure loss caused by it's previous owner removing the balance shafts and deciding to fill
the oil feed hole w/epoxy.....I've got plenty of junk T3 internals that prove this theory wrong.
Many thanks in advance!

PS: My plan is to debut my R/T at the "Mopars at Big Daddy's" Show in November here in Ocala Florida. Although it's not a 100 point show car, it is in very nice shape and should show well for a well aged 150k mile car.
