Re: Connecting Rod Bolts

[frankr]

Depends on what motor you are talking about. A dab of Loctite on one that uses lock tabs is ok, I suppose, but make sure don’t use so much that it wicks out into the bearing. On the other hand, rods with roller bearings are perfectly happy with no other safeguards than proper torque….which is an absolute MUST. Too little torque and they may come loose. Too much torque and they may break while running. And use an inch-pound torque wrench for better accuracy.
