That could be true only if the Loctite reduces friction in the threads considerably more than oil or anti-sieze compound, which is unlikely. I've been using Loctite on conrod bolts (and on neary all

Hi, Dave. I suspect you already know some of this, but here it is anyway. If plug fouling was the only symptom, I'd say your plugs might be too cold a heat range. However the chokeless starts and the

Mike, that's nonsense. The installation of hardened seat inserts is a repair technique that dates from way before our T-Types were built. The age of the head has nothing to do with it. Some heads ar

Most inserts are hardened, so those in your alloy head (Laystall-Lucas?) probably are. A hole burned through a valve indicates extreme overheating of the valve, or a poor-quality valve that was unabl

If the filter hangs vertically below the adapter, then there is probably no need for an anti-drainback valve. Note the "probably". Filter position isn't the only deciding factor here. On some engines
