Engine Rebuild Materials |
| Curil-T Sealant |
| Curil-T is a good, thin sealant that I use as an extra precaution against oil leaks when installing some seals. You will want to spread it around on a few of the seals and gaskets during the rebuild process. |

| JB Weld |
| There are several spots on the case where an original bonding/sealing agent was placed. These are the places where a factory dowel pin or plug has been inserted into the case. JB Weld is an excellent heavy-duty epoxy that can be used to replace the dabs of factory epoxy that help seal some of these areas of the case and chain housings. |

| Kimwipes Cleanroom Cloths |
| These are lint-free, dust-free cloths that will not leave any fibers that can clog tiny oil passages. The 911 engine can only be improved by such close attention to cleanliness and detail. Before each part is assembled, wipe it down one last time with isopropyl alcohol to remove any dust or dirt. |

| Loctite Red 271 |
| The red Loctite compound essentially glues the bolts together, and virtually eliminates the chances of them backing out. Be careful only to use a small bead - too much Loctite on the flywheel bolts can actually prevent them from seating properly. Ironically, this can cause the bolts to fall out later on - exactly what you were trying to prevent by using the Loctite in the first place! |

| Lubro Moly Engine Assembly Lube |
| The Lubro-Moly formulation is a bit thicker than others, which means it's easier to spread, and creates less of a mess. It comes in a 3.5 ounce tube, and one of these should be more than enough for a single 911 engine rebuild. |

| Plastigage |
| Plastigage provides a fast and accurate way to check bearing clearances. Plastigage is a special extruded plastic thread of a definite diameter with accurately controlled crush properties. The material is round, smooth and flexible through a wide range of temperatures. Extreme cold will make it somewhat brittle and heat will soften the material. However, Plastigage remains usable and accurate through all normal atmospheric variations of temperature and humidity in work areas where bearing clearances may be checked. |

| Loctite Threadlocker Blue Stick |
| This medium strength anaerobic threadlocker is well suited for difficult repairs, as in overhead applications |
