When is it best to use anti-seize and when is it best to use thread lock? I think this is a question that would be helpful to everyone.
I am just installing a new OEM fan on a 93 fox. (no biggie) I don't think I need either, since the fan is spinning and will keep the bolts in place.
I just need some clarification because of a bad experience I had in the past with a brake job. I've done quite a few brake jobs and never used thread lock. I just torqued the caliper bolts to the correct poundage and went on my way without a hitch. That was up until I did my wife's Ranger. After about a week, one of the caliper bolts, that was correctly torqued, came loose...yikes. If I can't do a mechanical job properly, I won't do it at all. (...and I certainly don't want to see my fan greeting my hood at 4,000 rpm.
