- Hey, I was thinking about that too. I have heard people saying to put loctite on the head bolt threads, but then don't you break the locking seal when you re-tighten them? And I have also seen differ

- Matt, I wouldn't use this stuff on the engine's interior bolts and studs. The only thing you need inside your engine is assembly lube, cam lube (for new cams), and gasket sealers. There are really no

- You are correct that clean new threads will allow for more clamping force to be transmitted due to less friction in the fastener, but IMHO you drew the wrong conclusion here. Torque specs are always

- Good post, Rick. Lots of good info in there. One question. I've alway understood that threads must be clean and lubed in order to ensure proper torque settings. Can I put Loctite on oily surfaces and

- My inclination is to say none of the above, or rather, having torn down and built many engines in my day, (mostly Alfa's) I've never seen it used, nor have I seen it ever been recommended to be used

- No Loc-tite is a glue. It has to have a clean surface to adhere to. This is another common mistake.

- Personally, and I do emphasize the word personally, If the engine has mechanical locking tabs I use new ones of those if available. I reuse the old ones if new are not available. I usually use 242 (b
