Agree that red loctite is great stuff for driveshaft bolts .... and it did what it was supposed to ... but let me throw something else into the mix . Loctite makes several retaining compounds ... RC 35 and 609 are two that come to mind . They are specifically designed to fill clearances up to about 3 thou. , and they do work !! Some years ago when I was running a dirt track car , I had a kingpin that had too much clearance and flopped around . The new kingpin didn`t come in and I wanted to race that weekend , so I coated the old one with the Retaining compound and let it set up overnight ( I wanted to race real bad !) . It lasted for a heat and the main . However ... please understand that I am NOT recommending that anyone else try that ... point is that Loctite has some great stuff out there .
