when installing new plugs, never-seize has been suggested to keep the plugs from seizing (obviously) but to protect the plugs from loosening with vibration and blowing out, has anyone ever thought of using blue loc-tite??

Blue loc-tite is used to keep threads from loosening and is NOT anything like red loc-tite.

 

I wouldn't...

 

Dee dee dee....

 

I doubt it would work, due to the heat the head see's.

based on my education and certification as an ASE mechanic, I would NEVER use loc tite on spark plugs.. Especially when you have aluminum heads. the point is for the plugs to not sieze to the heads, which is why most mechanics use anti sieze with aluminum heads..

 

Anti-sieze, and proper torque spec is the way to go.

I believe blue loctite fails at around 300 degrees, also it is only really effective on bolts 3/8" or smaller.
