you can use red on everything, if you don't want it to be stuck permanently just use a little bit then and don't saturate the threads.

 

I use red on most everything. To be honest I have never used blue!

 

LOL same here. Doesn't seem too permanent to me bc I've removed and reinstalled plenty of bolts that I had originally installed with red. I don't load the threads up until it is dripping off though either.

 

wow i cant beleive you guys who use red on everything your crazy .if your using a nut and bolt to secure , stover nuts are the shiznit .

red needs heat to be removed like mentioned.

here is something you guys might like , one of the cool tools that is new



this **** is awesome.

 

Ive always used red too! lol never used blue but that tape stuff looks pretty nifty

 

All you have to do is tighten the bolt a bit before you remove them and even red will break free...or a good tap with the hammer.

But yeah...if its threaded aluminum...the threads are toast.

Oh yeah, I have both used loc-tite and not used it on just about everything. Never any ill effects, but it was in non racing applications, just daily drivers.

 

I bolt my intake bolts down with red and have yet to have problems. Maybe I'm just lucky or stupid...probably the latter.

 

I have used both through the years ... i went to a seminar on this stuff back in the day...around the time when i went to a seminar for H.E.I. distributor systems .....lmao back in the early to mid 70's....dam i m get'in some years on.... i have all ways used red in moderation and never had issues....but with other metals besides "iron based" it does have some i'll effects....just my past experience...i use blue on the less "iron type stuff" and red on more "iron type stuff".... lots of good info here on this...and yes it is all ways a good idea to try to ever so slightly tighten any fastener before you try to remove it....just my old fogies humble opinion. ...or input...but WHAT DO I KNOW.. im twidling my thumbs fart'n around with a 4l60e trans prob right now.. and also replacing a lower unit on a 250 hp evinrude outboard motor at the same time........LMAO...PEACE

 

There is some green stuff that is beast I believe.

 

We send our converter out with blue 242 Medium Strength. I think it is strong enough to do the job, but still be removed easily. I have a few guys who have used the red and it was a little harder to remove, but no big problems.
