RE: Muffler Loctite
Slightly off topic, I wanted to mention I used Permatex High-Temp RTV Silicone Gasket Maker to fix a problem with a 4 stroke. It had been involved in a midair. It looked fine but ran lean. Finally, using a different color fuel, I discovered leaks in the intake manifold and the needle assembly - probably from stress caused by the crash. Used this on both and leaks stopped for years.
