I'd do 'er.To be fair, they're not the most attractive engines once all the plastic comes off. Much like those plastic chicks once all the clothes and makeup come off. Better turn the lights out and draw the curtains.

(obviously an earlier model, with the mechanical fan - mine's an e fan model so you have a water pump pulley with a rusty threaded hub sticking out, lol)

Man.. no idea. They slap it on several things, though. Looks like the same stuff you get on CTS's, for example.

Maybe someone like.. @MrPink would know?

No worries; thanks for the confirmation. xXxPARAGONxXx nailed it on post #29 and it got several mentions afterwards. As they said though it doesn't appear to be available in "consumer" sized packaging where a DIY'er might pick up a small amount for a reasonable price. $150+ for the 1L bottle seems out of reach for most of us.Loctite 516 as was already stated. sorry i am late to the party on this.
That would probably be one of Loctite's retaining compounds.I wonder if 516 is what goes in the joint between the pumpkin and axle tubes on rear axles. I had to do it manually once. It was a red clearish syrupy looking Loctite product, if I remember it right.

This is the same stuff used on the lower ball joint when pressing it in. There are various types of retaining compound, so the one used for the ball joint will not [likely] be the same as one used for an axle tube. Just depends on the specs.
Yup. I forgot about that. Same with the axles tubes on my former Jeep.The tubes already get slug welded. This stuff was more for oil control, I think.

So, did a basic Google, and maybe it's this stuff that you were referring to:
Not having much luck actually finding a retailer. Possibly not even manufactured anymore.
So what's the conclusion here... I was about to use this (high temp thread sealant) on the oil pressure sender, with the assumption that it would not lock the threads anymore than the white permatex sealant would. Is there a reason I should be using the white sealant on the sender instead?The only reason I asked was because those tubes are supposedly insanely tough to get out. My actual first thought was this. I almost PM’d you, should’ve as you seem to know this shjt!
