My thick wave washers arrived and I replaced the flat washers I had temporarily installed on the rear main bearing. I also apply the Threebond 1104 to the threads of all bolts. This is necessary on some of the bolts as the holes go all the way through to the inside of the crankcase. I use on all bolts as an additional thread retainer. I replaced each bolt one at a time to avoid displacing the gasket.
