What type of LOCTITE ?
Since I got my motor back, I have had my flywheel off and my clutch basket [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img] All I had was blue loctite. Before I run this motor anymore, what is the correct loclite to use so I can rip this thing apart again and use the correct stuff..Unless I will be OK with Blue.

Purple, easy to remove, Blue,holds good,a little harder,but great for holding things together.Red can be a bear, but the Green stuff is almost permanent, unless you heat it with a torch first to loosen it.

The green is pretty cool because it is a low viscosity threadlocking liquid that wicks along the threads of pre-assembled fasteners to secure them in place. It can even be used to fill hair line cracks. You have to heat that stuff up though to get it off.

111200 purple loctite= removable screw grade 1/4" and smaller.
121200 blue loctite= removable nut grade medium strength 1/4" and larger. both of these are removable with hand tools.
131600 red loctite= permanent studgrade heat to remove. there are more reds that are heat resistant and a big pain in the ars. I use blue on a daily basis at my job. but have never used it in a engine due to heat and vibration. I use it on heavy suspension. and it works great.I am not saying it will not work. I have not seen it fail. but,I probably would have used red 131600.
