    Anti-seize & Loctite

    Is there a general rule of thumb on when to use anti-seize and when to use loctite blue? I know I should use loctite on critical safety parts such as brake calipers and the like but I find myself wanting the properties of both on many bolts.

    The factory service manual details when to use thread locker and what type. Get your copy from basscliff's web site if you haven't already.

    As for anti-seize, use it on everything that doesn't get thread lock.

        I use a nickel based high temp antisieze EVERYWHERE that I don't use thread lock . A bit messy but very goodly (especially a coupla years down the track when you need to pull things apart again) .
