Help with doing intake grate
My buddy told me to use red loctite and silicone where do i put the silicone at? Is the silicone needed?

Use silicone (e.g. 3M 4200FC or 5200FC) on the mating surfaces of the intake grate, you don't have to actually seal the sides of it (the silicone will blow out). Personally, I follow the service manual for my FZR which recommends red loctite on the intake grate bolts. The Riva instructions recommend blue loctite (which is not as strong as red). To be honest, the use of loctite is a pretty polarizing topic here on GH.... I've seen people swear by it, and others say it is a waste and they use silicone or anti-seize. I always defer to official yamaha documentation (e.g. the service manual) in situations like that.

I really can't tell from the picture, can you explain a little more what exactly is wrong? For what it's worth, I have trouble installing my R&D grate because the bolt holes were tough to line up while underneath the ski, but I ended up first getting one bolt in and then the next bolt I put it was diagonally across from the first one so that it would line up good. Next, I installed the rest and hand tightened them before torquing all the bolts down in the same criss-cross pattern.

Where i circled in red its almost like the pump housing is shifted towards the left a bit, and it was a pain to line up.
