I would second Jim's advice on locktite red. I would use that only on
something that I really wanted to never come off. In some cases I have had
to use a torch on a nut bound by red. Looking at the stuff you would not
believe it could hold that well but in some cases it definitely does...

For you, or us on a small scale (and time to make sure the bolts are
clean), it may be, but apparently for industry, it's not.

## say what ? Blue loctite is used all the time in the automotive and
race car world. Put blue
loctite on the 6 x .375 SS bolts that hold an OR-2800 rotor to the
rotor plate...and you wont be
having bolts coming loose anytime soon. I used blue loctite in loads of
places on my Roush mustang,
nothing comes loose... including the new one piece AL driveshaft..which
spins at 6500 rpm.
Plenty of local folks here in town also use Red loctite for automotive
applications.
Purple loctite is weaker than blue loctite, and is another alternative.
Red is the strongest.
## I would not use red loctite for small stuff like machine screw
size.... otherwise you will never get em out, they will
be as good as welded into place.
## UST uses nylocks for all 22 pulleys used on my HDX-689. Non of
them loosen up. Between nylocks and
blue / purple loctite, you are covered.
