Engine reassembly question?

Hey guys,

I am in the midst of reinstalling my engine components in my car and just want to make sure that I put the right things back together properly.

My questions are which bolts should I use locktite on? if any? I have the thrust plate off right now as I was changing my cam and it looked like it may have had something on the threads before. My ford manual doesn't show anything other then torque specs but just want to confirm before I button this thing back up. Any other hints or techniques would be great on other components of reinstallation.

One other question I have replaced my cam from my old motor and wondering if I should use the lifters from that motor, do they break in to a cam like a tappet style lifter would?

Thanks
Eric
 
I am pretty sure that you should keep the lifters and cam together, assuming that the lifters are good.
