Rebuilding my 2.2 and the shop removed this part from the oil filter area. So I just thread it on or should I add loctite or rtv or pipe sealant to the threads? Service manual didn't say.

I used red loctite and tightened it up to 30 foot pounds. I couldn't find any specs either, but you want it to stay in the block during routine oil service, that's why I chose the red loctite and torque "spec"
Loctite red and crank it in.
Working on clearing the decks.
No rtv.
My FSM specifies high-temp pipe thread sealant, but if Gary says red Loctite, I ain't gonna argue.
I just use high temp pipe sealant by Permatex.
