I used it on the cam retainer, oil pump, oil pump P/U, crank bolt, front cover, and upper timing sprocket. I did not use it on the pan.

I used it on rockers, cam retainer, crank bolt, upper timing sprocket.

I didn't touch the oil pump.

I used it on everything as well, except for the oil pan.

I wouldn't use red on the rockers. I would use blue/thread sealer on those
