Default Re: What did I find inside my rad?

So how do I keep the bolt holding the underneath cap parts from coming loose, loctite?

When I want to keep something like that tight but may want to remove it undamaged at a later time, I use rtv silicone on the threads. It sets up and won't vibrate loose but is easy to remove when you need to.
