<div dir="ltr"><div>I work on the principle that ARP know more than I do so if they say use their lubricant to make sure the bolt is fastened to the correct torque (according to a torque wrench that's correctly calibrated, (at sea level??) that's what I do. I think the only bolts that get loctited on my Sprite are the UNC ones that fasten to an alloy adaptor for the big brake disc conversion. I like to think the loctite is a seal between dissimilar metals and also the fastening torque cannot be as high as I would like it to be so that's actually my first reason for using it.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, 17 Jan 2020 at 01:45, Ron Soave via Spridgets <<a href="mailto:spridgets@autox.team.net">spridgets@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto">Actually just looked - the ARP bolts specify Loctite 242 on threads and their goop under the head as well, very specific instructions.<br><br><div id="gmail-m_-5331779608026057341AppleMailSignature" dir="ltr">Ron Soave</div><div dir="ltr"><br>On Jan 16, 2020, at 5:39 PM, Ron Soave <<a href="mailto:soavero@yahoo.com" target="_blank">soavero@yahoo.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">Personally, I use ARP bolts with their goop.
