In the middle of my KDP

KDP itself is taken care of, but now i'm a little stuck on the location of the timing case bolts, can anyone help me out? Also what color loctite should i use? Thanks!

There are 5 internal case bolts. 1 is beside the KDP. One is down low on the passenger side, close to the oil pump, and 3 are behind the cam gear (one of which is really hard to get a wrench on, and impossible to remove.)

Blue loctite should be fine. (medium strength).

are the ones near the cam gear in almost a square in terms of location? I thought it might be them, but didn't want to take them out until i was sure.

I think they all kinda curve down around the right side of the cam gear (when viewing it from the front.) The torque spec is 18 ft/lb and they will all take a 10mm wrench. Don't confuse them with the cam retainer plate that takes a 13mm wrench on its two bolts.
