Is it better to use thread lock assembling fan/clutch on crankshaft ??
Hello,
I’m asking about assembling the fan and clutch on a nitro engine (91 HZ-R) , is it better not to use thread lock on the crankshaft nut (which presses the fan assembly down the crankshaft ) and the socket screws of the fan mount ? As the heat generated by the engine may “melt down” the thread lock , which will acts as a lubricant ,
I think the heat of the crankshaft is not enough to “melt down” the thread lock , so , I’m considering to use a small amount of thread lock ,
So , is it recommended to use thread lock ?
Please advise
Also , any trusted thread lock brands ? (is it better to use Align T43 , or Bob Smith blue thread lock ? )
I appreciate your help,
Thanks a lot,
