im ordering up all the parts for an m5 diff swap and im a "while im in there" extremist so im doing gaskets too.

on realoem they list loctite with the diff cover gasket
RealOEM.com * BMW E39 M5 Final drive, gasket set


seems like a dumb question but on pelicanparts.com the part number for the loctite shows a caulk tube of loctite which i have never seen before.


further exploration into this matter resulted in a search on yahoo and found this

Loctite 5970 High Performance Silicone Black - Henkel


it appears to be a silicone of some sort so i assume its for the gasket then? not the actually bolts for the cover?
