I would use caution in selecting the Loctite product solely on the fact that it is green colored!

1. There is the Loctite 680 mentioned in post 17 which is green.

2. There is also a green Loctite Part # 290 which wicks into the threads and THEN cures .

If the 290 gets between valve and the valve guide, the valve will seize up!!

Just saying ...

See description below.

Loctite 290 Wicking Grade MIL-SPEC Medium-High Strength Green Threadlocker is a medium-strength wicking threadlocker for pre-assembled bolts up to 1/2". Penetrates threads by capillary action. Secures set screws and other assemblies after settings are completed.
