Hey all!
so during my short hiatus at Army BCT...
I had plenty of time to think about my beloved '76 Spider, and my YouTube channel for the rebuild and other future projects. One thought that crossed my mind was the use of loctite on the engine. For those that don't know, I completely re bored the engine, and put some hot upgrades in it.
With that being said, I do not remember any type of loctite substance on any component, inner or outer. However, I am trying to be very thorough with this rebuild, and would like to get perspective on whether or not I should use loctite on any engine component, especially rod connectors ect...
Thanks guy!

Follow the Fiat Service Manual for use of thread coatings. The thread coatings can influence the specified torque ratings. ie: 1979 2L crank pulley is specified at 181#ft when using an anti seize coating of which 70% is due to the coating.
