Pipe/thread joint compound

in 912 / 914 Technical Questions 9 years ago
Rotax 912 - What's the model number of that pipe/thread joint compound that is used where the pipe threads into the coolant pump?

Thanks
Tony

    Loctite 648 is a good choice. Make the coolant elbow and flange it screws into for the proper alignment before you take it off the engine. Clean the threads well and wipe with laquer thinner. Then apply the Loctite. Screw it in place with your alignment marks and allow it to cure. Loctite 648 should keep it from coming lose again.
