I have my 2.5l Milano engine apart now...it should be the same. Yes, the
cig seals are between the block and the rear bearing cap. They do not contact
the rear seal. You can replace the rear seal without removing the cap. You
just have to remove the flywheel.
I haven't looked for green loctite yet. Mine was assembled with the grey
stuff too and it took the air rachet a good long time on each bolt.
