<a href="http://s4.photobucket.com/albums/y145/pharoah007/?action=view&current=DSC04009.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y145/pharoah007/DSC04009.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

Permatex High temp thread sealant.
says it is good up to 400F

will this work for something as critical as IM butterfly valves, or should I keep hunting for the Loctite brand?

thanks all

Default I think I may have answered my own question...

just reading the back of the package and this is a thread SEALER not a thread LOCKER.

well I guess the hunt continues

Default you're on your own with that as I've already expressed my thoughts/feelings...

on LocTite vs the others. Best case it works forever. Worst case a screw lets go and a valve blows thru a piston. Your car/your call.

The bottom checked box would scare the Bejeezus outta me; "Parts repositionable after application." If they're "repositionable" how can they be locked solid!?! With 272 you'll NEVER get them loose again without a torch to heat em up.

Default If you really want me to...

But you're not gonna save much money after paypal fees, etc...

$13.50 to ship to me, + paypal fees, + whatever it costs to ship to you...

Default Re: If you really want me to...

13.50 to ship to you is more than the 6$ first mentioned. At 13.50, you are totally right...not worth it with all fees

thanks anyway tho bro.
