If you're going to use a thread locker you want the strong stuff there. Why
even consider removable? Call Loctite and get the new torque specs for that
application. If the Loctite should do anything at all the connection has
already failed.

Subject: Thread locker on rod bolts?

We'll, I'm back from summer travel and getting back to my 2.1 WBX rebuild.

I'm installing Rods from Van Cafe. Should I use some removable thread locker
on the rod bolt/nut?

Thanks, Tom
