Good to know Mumbles.
Ive always just used the Loctite 515 as it is what works for me. Im pretty sure it is likely the exact same thing as in the Permatex tube!
Jimmy, if you marked them you are good. Put the cap back on the correct rod, in the same orientation, then finger tighten the caps. Rock them with your finger as you tighten them down you you will almost feel them drop into place. Then, as Mumbles stated, use a toothpick or your fingernail and run it along the seam to ensure it is smooth before torqueing down cap bolts.
