As the topic states, I am currently assembling my HomeLite 25cc motor, which will be mounted on a scooter, with me standing on it, total weight should be about 130 pounds including motor (I weigh about 115 pounds ) but, even with this weight, I worry the HomeLite will struggle in the long run, wearing out the motor and causing problems. In order for the threads to be seated properly, I want to have the best threadlocker for the engine, but, if disassembly is required (in the future, it is likely, considering the application), Permatex (the maker of my threadlocker) claims that the Red threadlocker cannot be removed without heating the area to 450 degrees fahrenheit (the motor couldn't take that).

I've used the red LocTite on a WeedEater motor which I've since scrapped, and I was able to disassemble the motor even with the red LocTite. Only reason I suspect I was able to, however, is that the maximum heat limit for LocTite (at least the kind I have) is 300 degrees. When disassembling, although the motor was cold, the LocTite seemed almost wet still.

Should I run LocTite at all, stick with the Blue threadlocker so that if disassembly is required, I'll be alright, or go with the red, and hope it doesn't turn "wet", or when I try to remove, it it takes the threads with it too [X(].

I have both the blue and red LocTite on hand, so if one is better suited in one area than another, I can also do that -- apply say the red LocTite on the head to block screws, heat dam, etc. but stay with blue on the carb and exhaust.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Yusuf
