I'm not sure about product number, but I bought mine either at True Value hardware or one of the auto parts chains (Napa, Advance).

If I remember correctly, they had two types: Red/permanent strength, and blue/removable strength.

According to the Loctite web site, the product numbers you're looking for (Loctite 5900/5970) are not automotive grade.

I believe you are referring to Loctite thread lock. The 5900 is a gasket sealant.. different product/application,,

Ahh... right you are Arthur. Thread lock is their only product I'm familiar with.

Loctite 5900 is a black goo used to seal the front cover on an M103. The dealer sells a small tube which is more than adequate to seal many M103 covers.

well guys, I went ahead and ordered a tube from McMaster Carr (a company we work with extensivly at work) as per nglitz's recomendation. I realize that I'm going to have enough to do a fleet of cars, but thats okay. Thanks for all the input.

Is this it?
