I recently tore down an automotive transmission I rebuilt. Some bolts that were threadlocked with Loc-tite red came loose and locked up the unit. These bolts were threaded into the cast-iron differential cage.
This time I intend will clean the parts extra thoroughly with solvent. In retrospect I probably didn't get all the oil off the thread surfaces the first time. But I'm still worried that absorbed oil in the cast iron will prevent a good bond.
Would the wicking type loc-tite work better? Or should I use the extra-permanent oil resistant stuff?
