[Mgs] loctite question

[Charles Hill]

I'm not sure that Locktite will hold up to the heat inside the engine.  
In the situation you describe some people will sand the mating surface 
of the nut to get the holes to line up.  I'm not sure I would want to do 
that to the main cap nuts though.  You might try swapping them around to 
see if it makes a difference.

Regards,
