I know Locktite makes lots of different types. Is there a good all around locker to use? Factory bolts come with a thread locker on them which is generally thicker than what I can apply using LT. Are the colors of LT the key? I'm putting my primary back together. I noticed during disassembly Orange, Red and Blue.....

 

Generally 3 type will make your life easy. Blue #222 or 242 for parts that need removal from time to time. Red, #271 for more permanent high load areas and Green #680 or 609 for sleeves and bearing races etc. There is no do everything # for all applications as they are rated for different loads and temps.

Sounds good....Thx

 

Red on things that will never ever ever be touched again. OTherwise blue.

 

Yeah...don't use red on your spark plugs....or oil drain bolt...

Great Products!

 

Blue is the one to use on a bike. If screws wont come loose, heating softens the LT.

 

Thanks WV, that was GREAT information. You would think there would be a simple table matching the fastener size to the product color + number.
