Okay - this is literally the only demo on youtube that actually understands how threadlockers work - not even locktites own demo does - all of which assume it's about part adhesion / adhesive power.
Be careful with that blind hole method. Liquids in a blind hole compressed with a fastener can actually crack the metal that it's threaded into from hydraulic force.
In the demonstration the cap screws were very close to bottoming in the blind holes. What if the hole was substantially deeper than the length of the screw? For example: 2" deep hole and 1" engagement of screw. What if the hole is only partially threaded? It's difficult to thread a blind hole completely, even with a bottoming tap.
You would be able to use High Temperature Permatex Threadlocker for that application, however, you will not be able to easily remove the drain plug in the future.
Which version is good to use on a 2 stroke engine header bolts . Permanent red for vibration. Or high temperature red ? My exhaust bolts keep backing out .
Likely your best bet would be to try the high temp red: greggdistributors.ca/adhesives-sealants-and-tape/Thread-and-Gasket-Sealants/Threadlockers/per27200
i got the purple but it doesn't cure sometimes specially on my black m5 scews and it comes off with almost no force on my m3 screws. i wanna get blue now but i'm worried it'd be too strong D: I use it for my 3d printer because it has a lot of vibrations etc
I have fuel fittings i want to install on my car injection system specially the fuel rail and i do notwant to use threadtapethe fittings feels a lil loosewhen threaded. Should I use thread locker or permatex aviation gasket maker # 3(part#80017).
First things first, you need to know what type of thread you are working with. For this application, you will most commonly see a bump style, flare style, or even a double flare. Check out our Heads Up for Hosers series to help you determine the type of fitting you are dealing with. If it is a flare style/bump style fitting you DO NOT need a "threadlocker" as the sealing does not occur on the threads, it takes place on the flared seating surface. If anything you may need to consider using a specific sealant that is designed for flared fittings such as the Loctite (LCT) 1265769. DO NOT use a gasket maker for sealing threads. Hope this helps.
Silly question when I put on my lug nuts and then retorque at a later date and it tightened a little more did I now just break the seal? Or will it still hold? Keeping lug nuts from vibrating loose. Thanks. I hope someone an understand what I mean. Lol
Generally speaking thread locker should not be used on lug nuts. If your lug nuts are torqued to the correct specifications, they should not be vibrating loose. If they are, you likely have an underlying issue that is causing this, and you may have to consider replacing studs/lug nuts and review torque specs. In relation to your question regarding "breaking the seal", you are correct. If the thread locker has fully cured and you re-torque any fastener, you will likely break the seal depending on how significant the fastener rotation is. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching our video!
It would depend on your situation and what/where you're fastening. With a bolt for example, if your goal is to secure that bolt in situations of extreme vibrations that could loosen it even after tightening the bolt, your best bet would be to use a threadlocker product on the threads to keep it from failing. Anti-seize can be used everywhere else in normal settings, where you'll be able to easily remove that bolt when needed.
What type of threadlocker it is better to use on Inner Tire Rod ball thread (which attaches the rod to the steering rack body): Loctite 272, Loctite 271, Permatex 24300, Permatex Blue 24005 or none? My car is 2001 Saturn SL2. Torque specification for that part looks like 71 Ft-lbs. Different authors on utube apply different types, some don't apply anything. I would appreciate your opinion. Thank you for the film.
For an application like that you would be best to get recommendations directly from the manufacturer. We don't want to give advice that may not be accurate. GM should have a technical manual available for that model of car, otherwise you may be off to the dealership for advice. Sorry we couldn't be of more assistance, and thanks for watching our video!
@@GreggDistributorsLP Thank you, but can dealership give advises on repair done by a customer? I think usually they want to repair everything themselves despite their busy schedule. Thank you for the film again.
Technically, all thread lockers are semi-permanent. If you need a high temp option here is the item you're looking for: greggdistributors.ca/adhesives-sealants-and-tape/Thread-and-Gasket-Sealants/Threadlockers/per27250
