red vs blue loctite...

jezterr · 03-16-2009, 01:54 PM

i'm going to be replacing the rear engine and transmission mounts on the car. question is, when i get the bolts back in, which loctite should i use? would i be okay with blue?

How can I remove Loctite Threadlockers?

Blue: Can be removed with hand tools
Red: Apply heat to remove
Green: Apply heat to remove

Red is actually what you`ll want to use on the mounts.
Its more Vibration,Oil,Heat, and strength wise durable.
Your not going to hurt anything by using it.
Make sure you apply all around the threads, dont worry about getting it on any surfaces. its an anaerobic adhesive which means it wont cure unless air IS NOT present. So anything else will wipe up

One is red, one is blue. Sheesh.

Serously man... I probably would've used the blue. But it's too late now.

Just don't ask for my help when you've gotta take it apart ok?

red if in steel, red will strip the threads out of aluminum.
blue in aluminum.
