Engine Block Heater Install

[Cathouse]

Which Loctite should I use when installing the drive-in adapter bushing for the block heater on an L3301? Block Heater number 70000-00297!!

 

[Dustball]

Loctite 620 would be ideal.

No need for loctite what you really should use is a Teflon pipe dope.

Install a battery warmer while you're at it....

Lock-tite 620 would be perfect, ask me how I know.

It's a press-in sleeve.

Actually....I am getting ready to do this as well. I didn't get around to it last winter as intended....so I am going to do it now.

I plan to use a sealing product also (whether actually needed or not).

The instructions call for a Loctite Threadlocker.
