Hey guys, what is this thread compound the manual says to put on the studs durring installation? Is it nescesary or can I use loctite?
Thanks,

 

(red - 242 or 262) Loctite on the bottoms going into the case and very light oil on the upper threads then wipe off any excess.

 

Cool, I've got that..... Saw the "compound" recomendtation with impact gun installation, and got confused... My studs will turn in by hand now, wondered why they came out with so much trouble and brought threads with one. The red explains it.. Jugs and heads are painted, need to clean the fins and I should be putting it together soon... Headding to the woods to see if I can find a turkey now..

Thanks again Rufus....

Dude,
Why go to the woods, you can get a better turkey in the super mart?? That would leave you more time to ride and tinker on the bike. Just kidding good luck as the average Tom is a lot smarter than the average hunter.

 

Yea, good point... I dont go to hunt anyhow, just like to get out in the woods.....(I'm begining to tell myself that so I dont feel bad)...

So, I'm back to tinkering now.. Didnt see or hear anything, but it was still a good morning.. I'm on the home stretch with my top end. I need to keep myself focused and not rush it though, I'm pretty happy with it so far..
