what loctite to use on compensator bolt, 262 or 271 ? i know the bolt comes with a red patch thread locker on it, but i always add alittle more.

 

Doesn't matter what you add, whats on there will do the job just fine.

 

I use red

DO NOT use air impact tool on this.

If you need to get torque, you can use a bar on your torque wrench and stand on it...

just buy a 3/4 drive torque wrench they are inexpensive

 

i have every size torque wrench i need . i was asking about the which loctite to use on the comp. bolt. i always used the 271 on the evo and shovel and even put some on the 12 twin cam when i had it apart. i've run out of the 271 and have a big bottle of the 262. i think the 271 is stronger than the 262. going to get into the primary of my 15 trike.
