Whats the difference between red, blue and green? And...where to use it on the XT? I already know...not to use it on anything steering/buffer assembly!

I think you are mistaken. When it comes to Loctite,City Divided said:Green = Minimal thread lockBlue = Medium thread lock
Red = You will never unscrew it again (you will need a blow torch)
I mainly use the Blue Loc Tite glue. I apply it to any screw that takes the most abuse and continuosly backs out of the while bashing. Just think of the screws that rattle the most and those are the screws you want to apply the Loc Tite on.

Lately, I've been retapping my threads also. It's defintely helped with stripping screw heads out. Also, I've replaced almost all of the stock bolts with stainless steel ones from Mcmaster. The steel ones would be better but I don't like rusty bolts. I buy packs of 100 of the small 4mm's for $6-7 and the 5mm are packs of 50 for around $5.TerraKill said:might be silly, but i lock tite every metal to metal bolt on my car with blue locktite, im very heavy handed an ruined loads of threads with the problem demon mentioned with the build ups(usually thread the allen head before the thread tho), i try to keep ontop of my threads and retap the most used threads when i service my car just to remove the crudd
Actually they have a notch cut into them with a nylon patch.TerraKill said:i might be giving away a million dolla idea or they proberbly alrdy exist, but i think it would be kool to have bolts, with a small nylon ring(would only need like 1mm), flush with the thread on a boltwould be equivalent to nylon nuts but bolt form
ive looked everywhere and i cant find these bolts? wat are they called?DemonRC said:Actually they have a notch cut into them with a nylon patch.
