Lock Tite Question
Forgive me for beating this subject to death. It has been a year since ive had time to tinker with a new truck. I purchased an LST2 recently. I know it is important to lock tite certain screws, but I am mostly familiar with my savage truck. Can someone please refresh my memory, which screws need lock tite? I read the sticky but it doesnt really get that specific. thanks for the help.

To be honest, I only use locktite on the grub screws in all parts of the CVDs. In over 4 gallons, nothing else has ever come loose on the LST. My Savage used to have the engine mounting plate come loose every couple runs, but nothing on the LST seems to back out.

RE: Lock Tite Question
It is wise to use loctite on any metal to metal connections, it is necessary to use loctite on the roto start backplate, but is not necessary to use it on the cooling head.
