[QUOTE="SlowSVT, post: 8369173, member: 20202"] If you were using bolts to torque the main caps I would agree. Locktite would not be a good idea. But you are using studs which are stationary and is not what gets torqued, the nuts get torqued. Make sure you use a little oil on the threads of the nuts to get an accurate torque reading. Blue Locktite is medium strength and can be removed. Using red locktite you mine as well epoxy then into the threads (that stuff will rip aluminum threads right out of the hole). Make sure the threads on the studs and the holes are dry and use very little blue locktite. 2 drops should do it. Brake cleaner does a good job removing oil and leaves no residue. [/QUOTE]
