cam thrust palte

Building the 302/331 - anything special I should be aware of with the cam thrust plate? I don't believe it has a gasket (haven't found one yet at least). Just some thread locker on bolts and we should be good right? I did see and oriented correctly the plate based on the markings on the back side.

Check endplay with gear and no chain, needs to be in spec.
