Yup red you may have to heat slightly with a propane torch to remove but after years of loose converter bolts i find that no problem.

I use the stuff in the blue container. I don't have to heat it up to remove.

Or perhaps the guys that realise how effective blue Loctite is... Most auto manufacturers have used blue to retain the caliper mounting bolts since the 70's if they figure it's good enough for everyone's brakes with the liabilities involved then it's probably more than adequate for torque converter bolts...

Blue, if you want to be able to remove it without a hassle, especailly if there the small bolts like the stock ones

I allways figure if it needs loctite, it may as well be real loctite, never really had to heat anything to get apart, just allways careful to not round off the head. Red for me, I use blue for aluninum.

Blue is a good for most any thing,,271 red is if it absolutly, posativly, has to keep from coming apart, either will work but 271 is stronger.


Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

If you absolutely, positively dont ever want it to come apart, there is a green loctite that will not let it come apart without a maximum amount of effort.
