Loctite

[YELLOW 94]

I installed my oil pan with new oil pump, new oil pick up. I did not use loctite and now I am second guessing not using it on the oil pump bolts and pick up bolts. The engine is still out of the car so should I pull the oil pan and use loctite on these bolts.

thanks

If it will make you sleep better at night and since the engine is already out of the car I would do it just for the piece of mind, now if it was in the car already I would just just live on the edge and hope for the best.

I didn't on my bolts and it has held just fine. As long as you torqued it to spec, I wouldn't worry about it.

Thanks for the replys, I did torque them to spec so I guess I'll leave them.

loctite its more like lock ease. i put some on my ring gear bolts and torqued them to specs. a week later I had to redo it and the bolt came out with little resistance
