I've been an ASE and FOMOCO Senior Master Technician as well as a mech/tech all my life.
Fixed a lot of auto's, MC's and bikes at work, on the road, the dragstrip and everywhere in between.
If I'm going to use any LocTite, I'm going to make sure it "adheres" to the premise that its not coming loose no matter what, I've never had to use any heat to undo it.
Before this exchange, I had never noticed the needing to heat to unscrew a bolt/screw etc in order to loosen. Here is a quote pulled from the Loctite website.
"PERMANENT FIX: Permanent seal prevents tampering and is only removable once cured by heating parts up to 500°F (260°C)"
I use is because it helps prevent loosening under high heat conditions. Me...still learning stuff. Thanks guys.
