Locktite

[lip5er4]

I have some locktite I use when I do my brakes,very greasy and silver in color. I wonder if this stuff contains zinc. I was going to mix this stuff with a little bit of motor oil and put it under the valve caps and pushrod cups, since this is an anti-seize compound. any sugjestions. Brian

LocTite brand is known for thread lockers and adhesives.  I've never heard of Locktite anti-sieze but IF that's what it is, it's THE thing to mix as you say and use in the push-rod cups AND under the rocker pads AND between the valve stem and the lash caps.

Use straight anti-sieze then just add a drop or two of oil or STP as needed to keep it juicy.

LocTite  anti-sieze----  Surely they realize how STUPID that sounds.

Perhaps a little paste of molybdenum disulphide with some oil, that would ingrain itself into the metal surfaces and provide some lasting protection and lubrication?

I bought a small tub of it from a supply house, it doesn't take much of that stuff to cover something.

Hey , do a google search for loctite.(I spelled it wrong). They make this anti seize compound.

 I know they do!  That's what's so funny.   Anti- sieze by  Loc Tite??     Hillarious!

It's like Goodyear nails,  or Jack Daniels aspirin.

LocTite  anti-sieze  could be classified as an oxymoron.

Please be aware that MOST anti-seize compounds contain microscopic sized particles of some metalic substance. This is one of the features that makes it anti-seize.
Most, if not all, of these compounds are intended to be used for that purpose ONLY.
When we were working for BMW North America, as a traveling service tech / quality instructor, we had a directive issued by the service department in Munich telling us to stop useing the lube we had been applying to the sliding half shafts in the final drives of the vehicles field serviced by dealers. There is a periodic requirement for "spline re-lubrication," with a spec product. This was very expensive, so a search was mounted for a less pricy alternative. They tested at least 14 different products, including 4 anti-seize lubes from Loctite. These worked well in lab tests but after 3-4 hours in the feild excessive wear started to ruin shafts by "lapping" the splines to the point of failure.
These (loctite) are very good products when used for the purpose intended, but when mis-used can have a very bad result.
I have extensive experience with this sort of thing having worked for Permatex in West Palm Beach, Fl both before and after the combination of the two companies, Permatex and Loctite.
