[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 480433, member: 22613"] I wouldn't want to rely on Loctite to seal a crankcase. From my experience working with red Loctite, I have never had any trouble getting it apart. If you do, some localized heat with a heat gun or propane torch would probably loosen it up and not hurt anything. You will likely need to clean all of the bolts and chase the holes when you go back together. The drag from old Loctite will interfere with your torque values. From what I'm reading about Loctite thread locker, it will not bond without steel in the equation, so separating the case once the bolts are out shouldn't be a big deal. [/QUOTE]
