pairrothead01 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Folk,Doing some cooling hose replacements while I have removed most of the intake parts getting to the plugs and ignition coils to replace.I found while removing all the long bolts of those assemblies ..... there was blue compound on all of them. I assume it is blue locktite.....but in the FSM, it does not have any reference to applying a thread locking agent.Advice welcome, I have blue locktite if this is a norm for DIY reinstallation as a prevenative measure for success.

Mr_Reverse Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Never noticed any thread locker on Nissan intake bolts. I haven't used it on them either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 While it's apart, check the power valve screws, if you haven't (if it's an automatic). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pairrothead01 Posted March 1, 2020 Author Share Posted March 1, 2020 Power valves done.Used blue gel locktiteSorry I didn't take a pick or two....the valve flap, looked as if it had a countersinked hole from the movement.The screw had flatten threads under the screw head also.Hope that doesn't comeback to bite me.Will I see some performance improvement from this fix?Sent from my LG-K425 using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I'm not sure, but I'd be surprised if it gained enough power to notice. I wouldn't worry about the wear so long as the screws still went in all the way and the assembly moves without binding. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
