Thread locker for manifold studs

Postby DanZig » Sat Dec 27, 2014 10:16 am

Hey guys,

Putting my car back together and I've got some nice new inconel studs for my manifold. Now, I did order them with some resbond but I can't for the life of me figure out where I've put it!

Does anyone have any experience with another thread locker which would easily be obtained (in Adelaide at least) and is up to the task? I can't see anything in the loctite catalog which is rated to a high enough temp. Really want to get this back together while I'm on holidays and not have to redo the studs anytime soon.

None of those will survive in a turbo manifold. The highest rated locktite is 350c

I have and use resbond. Its rated to 1200c.

I could send you some but id have to charge 10 bucks plus post because its nearly $200 for a small bottle.

Yeah it's a bit low.

That resbond is bloody hard to get and expensive stuff! I'll hit you up on fb Dann if I can't find what you sent me one more time.

That's where I buy itm they are the sole importer, but they never ever have it in stock and its around 200 for them to import a single bottle for you.

Pricey stuff. Hopefully they have some in stock and are open, I'll call them Monday.
