Re: Question about Loctite?
 

Because a bottle taken care of will last you 15-20 years.

What I want to know is how you can get the lid off, if the stuff works?:p

Dave,
If a bottle last you 15 to 20 years then you aren't using it as much as I do in my shop. Send your old Loctite to me & I'll cycle it into use.
Art,
I use the red on flywheel bolts on my odd fire V-6 and blue on the Converter bolts. I use an L-9 bolt on the converter with fine thread poly lock nuts. Get ready to tighten things regularly. The harmonics of these non V-8 engines cause nuts & bolts & other parts to fall off. We re check the converter & tranny bolts & drive line every 3 passes. Motor plate & mid plate is another area that gets the same P/M schedule on the bolts. Using wrenches regularly is just the price we pay for running these combinations. Good luck...
Art, another thing to remember is to use a shouldered bolt. A long shoulder that goes into the flywheel & part way into the converter boss. You know the way Std. shift flywheels hold clutch covers on, in alignment. That helps to minimize the shear on the bolt by spreading out the load.

They have it as a paste in a tube now so you dont have to worry about knocking the bottle over and losing $25

Adger, Is that on odd-fire motors? Our 3800 doesnt have any problems with backing off flywheel bolts or converter bolts. Might be cus we dont make a ton of power, but who knows.

...and you do not turn the RPM's either... :)

Re: Question about Loctite?
 

I think Adger's V-6 is just starting a run at the RPM you are ending the run. Yes, Div 6 right on!

Re: Question about Loctite?
 

After a lot of searching I found the loosening problem is pretty common with the motor I'm running, Some guys have doubled the number of converter bolts.
For now I'm just going to use the Red, when my new flexplate and bolts get here. Then I'll keep an eye on them. Hope it will last.
