Loctite - Which Grade???
Posted: Sun Sep 22, 2013 3:44 pm
Which type of Loctite do you use on your car?
For example it is recommended that cylinder head studs and the timing chain guide screws should be fitted with a dab of Loctite (or similar).
I presume high strength is best for the twin cam - but I'm only guessing
a quick search of ebay lists:
222 Weak(?) Strength
241 Medium Strength
242 Medium Strength
243 Medium Strength
2400 Medium Strength
638 High Strength
270 High Strength
275 High Strength & Vibration Proof
2700 High Strength
etc...........................................................
