Timing chain cover bolts with RTV?

[BlueCruiser84]

I have heard that a couple of the timing cover bolts need to have RTV put on them or they will leak once everything is back together. I just put my cover back on after doing the chain, but I have not tightened anything down yet. Does anyone know which bolts need to be RTVed?

Also, does anyone know the length of the top oil pump bolt? the one that threads all the way through the timing cover? The bolts in my cover where all in the wrong spot, and that particular bolt was actually missing when I took it off. I used the diagram from the 4crawler website to put most of them back in, but it does not mention that bolt. Basically I don't want it interfering with the tensioner.

Thanks fellers.
