Default Re: top box on pilly seat

No, loctite is manufacturer of "stuff"
they make all sorts... spray grease, freeze and release spray... gaskets... everything

Most of time when people say "loctite" they mean "threadlock" (of which loctite make dozens of different grades... most common 243 grade... general purpose medium strength) ... which is like a glue you pour onto a bolt, then tighten the bolt, the glue sets preventing the bolt from loosening through vibration.

Nyloc is different, it is a plastic ring on the top of the nut. You buy the nuts with it already on... they do same job... prevent vibration making fastener loosen itself.
