Thread: Camshaft Bolt Question

Tweet

Which color loctite should be used for camshaft bolts? I know the red would be stronger but I was concerned about getting the bolts loose if I had to take them out.

iv`e never used any ..

Nope me either the cam bolt heads have a grouved underside and shouldn't come loose

You can use blue loctite or, better, a cam bolt lock plate. These are inexpensive plate (usually provided with a cam button but are sold seperatly as well) that have tabs that fold over and hold captive the cam bolts.

blue works i use red on the bolts you will not bust them taken them out i never have. done many . the bolts grade 8s come with the lock plate kit .ARP sell s cam bolt kits as well .
