Use the Loctite to get the parts properly located and fixed. Then pin the joints for extra insurance...you won't have to worry about it after that!Bill
I use #638 Loctite on everything. It is the only Loctite I use. It works great for assembling small crankshaft, and as an added locking feature, I wait 24 hours for the Loctite to cure, then drill and pin the joints with a piece of 1/16" music wire, which has been (of course) dipped in Loctite before being pushed (not pressed) into place. have never used tapered pins.---Brian
Hi Chris ,i have just used some 638 on my flywheel as the key disappeared in transit ..It is very gloopy and dark green and takes about 1/2 hour to start to set then the longer the better to cure. it takes quite a while to start to set so gives ample time to position..... willy
If you use primer n anaerobic lockers will set up a whole lot faster and stronger. Plus it you use loctite on bushings, pins and other thing normally pressed it you will get a stronger than press fit with a nice slip fit with loctite and primer n. The shear strength is stronger than what a press fit is.
