Red Loctite is touted as requiring heat to remove parts after hardening; the blue Loctite is touted to be removed with hand tools.

after thinking it over red loctite would be better,because the last isolator installed in my machine spring broke. i bought this machine in september with a locked up motor for $2500, pulled motor out and pieces of springs fell out motor was not locked up.bought new isolator kit for $1300 , with motor out rebuilding it was a good idea $1500 for kit and machine work. got motor ready to go back in and injection pump had been leaking so i took it to shop and bosch pump was bad,so i have a new up graded pump and lines and gear. so now i am ready to put motor back in, have cleaned up flywheel only small marks found where spring wedge against bolt, so i better use the best loctite so this does not happen again. thanks for all the help butch

The destruction of the isolator is not from the bolts coming loose but the breaking of the springs, retainer bolts and centre section.

We just tighten them with a 1/2" flex handle.
