[6pack] Red Lock-Tite

[Foster, Stan (HP IT)]

Bob, I would imagine once the stuff sets up its effectiveness will be reduced
or removed if you later create movement in the interface that breaks the bond
between the mating surfaces.

What fasteners that typically need re-torquing would you use thread locker on
?

The red product made by Lock-Tite and Permatex is for heavy duty thread
locking. Sometimes after toquing a component, you're supposed to check &
re-torque after driving XXX miles. I'd usually do that by putting my torque
wrench on the car and tightening it again. If it has loosened and moves,
does that wreck the effectiveness of the thread locking compound?
