Thats strange.... I see there is only one knob on the heater control panel.. I always assumed that cars with A/C have two knobs there???

1) What sealant are you using between the block and "crank case"?Threebond 1215
2) Why don't you run the sealant to the oil lpump hole (I assume that is what it is with the "O" ring)? Yes,pump feed tube and within timing cover so no need to seal
3) Do you use thread locker etc for the cam gear bolt? Yes 80nm + thread lock
4) Do you use any type of sealant on the bottom cylinder liner gasket? No ,the Renault seals work well if all is nice and clean/intact
Headgaskets, I have seen several comments on different brands etc so I have a couple of questions on that:
1) I have Reinz gaskets are they on the good, bad, or OK list (stock rebuild but possible I may change to a sport cam)? Limited choice but most of my stuff is Turbo and the Glaser spec from Meca parts are usually up to the job .I think that Reinz are similar quality
2) Any special tricks or considerations when assemblying the gasket, head etc? Pop some 3mm rivet stems under the head dowels to stop them going to far in .I set the gaskets to 60nm then relax then whack them up to 120 .No angle set,no re torque after heat cycle
I would appreciate the help.
