Default Thought about loc-tite

Slick61 Smitty Have you thought about adding BLUE loc-tite to your bolts and nuts? This is not as strong as the red stuff. It works about the same. The other idea was going to aircraft nuts with nylocks. They have them in all sizes. I did both to my motors, (knock on wood) no problems with having to retorque nuts or bolts. Don't keep retorqueing the nuts and bolts because of crushing the gaskets in the motor. That motor expands and contracts about .002" from cold to hot mode. Ball park figure. Rick L
