I am reassembling a 1098 cc engine for my Sprite. During a previous rebuild I installed 12 point ARP stye rod and and main bolts. I discovered the remnants of blue Loctite thread sealer. Since, I have been given several opinions regarding the use of this product. The fact that typical tab locks will not match with the facets lead me to be somewhat concerned. Some say:
Torque the bolts dry w/o sealer
Use light oil
Use the higher heat rated red Loctite
Is there a consensus on this topic out there?
