Subject:Use of Lock Tite
From:Stan Wilder
Date:Fri, 26 Jul 2002 22:52:41 -0500

While disassembling an engine I noted that the last shade tree mechanic
in there had used lock tite on every bolt. I'm nor disagreeing his use of
lock tite on the case bolts but I could see that he also used it on the
Rod Cap nuts as well.
The Question:
Does LOCKTITE hold up to the high temperatures inside an engine and
provide extra holding power on something like the Rod Cap nuts?
