Thread: When to use locklite and antisieze?

Tweet

here are some things i use locktite on red. engines cam bolts fly bolts oil pump body bolts oil pump studs windage trays stud and screws oil pump filter adapter bellhousing bolts brake hard ware mounting brackets. any where heavy vibration may make a lock washer fail .they crack . ring gears on rear ends and some guys use it on main studs were they go in the block. but there is two things to think about. if you use it on ring gears and main studs. on main stud they need to be torque up so the lockltite is not on the front part of the threads. so the stud will hold and not ride on the locktite . on ring rears torque all them up with no locktite and take one out at a time and retorque this way it will not dry and give you a false read. i like to use 620 locktite high temp retaining compound for block sleeves and block soft plugs and cam plugs
