Um,
We heat Locktite to get it off. One of the hottest parts of the engine is the exhaust and head. Locktite will not work. Use spring or lock washers.
Really? Whoever told you this obviously knows nothing about Loctite products. I've yet to see a RC Exhaust hit 450 degree's.
"246 Threadlocker High Temp./Medium Strength

This threadlocker resists oil and mild surface contamination at continuous temperatures to 450°F. Suitable for fasteners between 1/4" and 3/4" (6 to 20 mm) diameters.
"
Loctite makes thousands of products and it does work on exhaust bolts very well.
No one told me. You mentioned Blue not 246. I am Guessing after your second post you ment 246 in your 1st reply. Yes, that will work at higher temps.
