Hello,

This is on a magnesium 034S crankcase. The Service Manual lists no fewer than 4 different types of Loctite. None of the numbers look familiar. Any suggestions on what type I should use? I do happen to have some removable 242 Threadlocker available. Don't know if this has to be temperature or bar oil proof or not.

Thanks,
Steve

243 is oil tolerant medium strength thread locker. Basically the same as 242 as far as strength etc, just more tolerant of oil.

I guess its specified due to the stud going thru to the oil tank on one of the studs.
