Has anybody ever had Red Loctite fail?
Has anybody have a bolt back out that has red loctite on it?
or even the Blue?
Is there anything better than the standard red?

what " toolsinbox" says about heat is, for sure . correct but locktite isn't what keeps the bolt tight or in place. the preload on the fastner does. locktite is the " suspenders" in a " belts and suspenders" approach. if you have harware that repeatedly loosens up or falls out its either the wrong hardware for the application or the right hardware improperly preloaded or you have components that are moving relative to each other that the clamp load is unable to control.

If it has fuel running thru it and oil,so heat would not be a factor, I know about bolt stretch,but if red loctite was used how could a bolt back out?
