[QUOTE="Cyborg, post: 117112, member: 3426"] I'm sure you know this, but I'll stick it on here anyway. Just a matter of choosing the right version of Loctite. I don't think you want anything nuclear that will make a lot of heat necessary to get it out when and if you do split the cases. I think its just a matter of getting something in there to consolidate whats left of the threads.. as in just making sure its anchored. I suppose aerosol brake cleaner would do, I just use acetone in case whatever I'm cleaning subsequently get exposed to high heat and argon. I'm not one to be a worry wart about chemicals, but no brake cleaner for me. I have learned to check the Loctite web page, because they do come out with new and improved from time to time. Although not for this application the newer 648 is a good example. Works better for interference fit when sleeving etc. I think most of the failures using this stuff stem from using whatever is laying around and lack of cleanliness. I'm surprised how well the low strength stuff works when the threads are squeaky clean. Beats trying to stake those little nuts on the ET68 valve lifter gubbins.
