Locktite on all the bolts?
« on: March 30, 2009, 03:31:23 PM »
Im closing up the bottom end of my CB750 F.  Should I locktite everything or can I just locktite the main crank bolts?  Whats the best bet?  If I have to take the cases apart again (for machine work) I dont want to shear off all of the smaller bolts.

Don't use any locktite on the case covers or crankcase screws/bolts.

I never use any Locktite. Clean surfaces, new gasket and tightend the screws well.

I am curious what Mrieck does but I clean the threads with a wire brush and use a very small amount of of antisieze. Dan
