Not that I think Loctite is a magic bullet rather that if you find correctly torquing fasteners, using the correct lockwashers, etc. is not working then why not use the Loctite? Certainly better than loosing/breaking engine parts. RT

That makes sense... the blue stuff is pretty harmless, for the most part...
...I just cringe every time I hear someone say "Loctite", because I've had several infuriating, knuckle-busting experiences trying to remove bolts that someone used the RED stuff on.
