Guys, it's still not clear to me how one can hold the cam shaft from rotating after removing the oil pump. (This is to do with removal of the bolt that holds the cam sproket to the cam shaft) Something about holding it from behind. Holding WHAT (cam shaft?) from behind?? (I assume from behind where the oil pump used to be?) Can anyone shed some light on this? Newbie here... (My timing belt job is coming up)

It would seem to me that we can automatically rule out Permatex Anaerobic sealant because the temperature range is from -65F to 300F. I would imagine the oil peak temperature to be a lot higher than 300F?? -- Addendum: I did a google search and found that "normal" oil temperature maxes out at 240F. However, "heavy" usage (racing, towing etc) can result in a sustained temperature of 290F. So, it seems my argument is valid: Don't use permatex anaerobic sealant for the oil pump.
