Default Re: Drain plug torque

Thank you Gentlemen, Cliff, Paul and Jerry.

Paul, I use some form of permatex on all my gaskets via buttering so I'm hearing Ya with that one!

Cliff, what can I say? You are complete right down to the crossed "T-ees" and "dotted I's"! I'll go run down the links and do some reading. Thanks amigo.

Jerry, I never considered the temp limits of any of the loc-tite products. My bad. You're obviously right about the temps at the exhaust ports I would dare say. Sooo, I guess I'll be looking into thwarting the mechanical vibration that will loosen the header bolts with a mechanical solution. Thanks for the facts on that stuff! Thank You Jerry.


Tom
