Flapper valve

Flapper valve
So working on the top refresh, I had the manifold sand blasted. Both caps off and the flapper valve removed. Washed and oven dried then painted. So put in the new roller pin bearings and have the rod in, I think it is in right and I have the two little screws that hold the disk in, so do you use blue or red Loctite on the screws? Also should I put any Permatex on the seals for the caps or just the o-ring type seals that fit in the channel alone?
I should have taken more photos!

Did you remove the paint/coating from the snap ring surfaces on the top and bottom of the mainfold?
The shaft length assumes no thick coatings on those surfaces, and then the snap ring makes the shaft too tight to turn with the vacuum pod.
The proper updated bearings have seals on them, should have those already.
