Just a question about Locktite the service manual says to use Blue Locktite 243 all I can find in town is 242 what is the difference? Both are medium strength blue. Thanks Bob

 

Google says 243 is oil tolerant. Otherwise if you clean your threads prior u should be good.

 

Just me, but locktite is way over rated. It's good and I use it but no matter what the *color*' you can break it loose when you need to.

 

If it's good enough for my friends 4500hp, 300mph Nitro Funny Car...it's good enough for my Harley

 

I thought today's funny cars put out about 8000 hp. Unless your friends is about 10 years old.

 

I put that stuff on everything!

 

8000 is just hype behind the advertising for fan excitement. Reality is to about 5000. The race over the last 10 years is still 300mph and quarter mile times in the mid to high 4's

While I shortened the post, I didn't change your sentence. I even double checked to make sure I didn't inadvertently change it. If I offended you, accept my apology..

 

Nah, just jerking your chain a little. Thing is I said I do use it. All is good!
