    flex plate bolt questions... thread sealant on the bolts or not.

    Im doing my rear main seal again this time with a Felpro teflon seal. I've heard that the bolts that attach the flex plate to the engine need to be sealed, but I wasn't sure. If they do need to be sealed what type of sealant should I use silicone, etc?
