      Red Loctite 271 Scares Me

      I might be seeing that my Wilwood front discs are almost ready to be checked off as "done" on my build, but that also means that, theoretically, the final time that they go together, all of the bolts and nuts should be hit with some red Loctite 271.... But anything that says that you have to hit it with a torch for X minutes and disassemble while still hot smacks of being a pretty permanent situation to me, and at this point in my build, how can you know with certainty that there isn't some silly reason that things will have to come apart again? Is it really that permanent of a solution? Besides not owning a torch, I couldn't imagine that heating up the nuts that are nestled right up against the front calipers could possibly be good for any of the parts in that vicinity.... Any one have any practical experience with having to in-do nuts and bolts secured with this stuff? Thanks.

      Steve
