    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Never ever seen loctite called for inside the motor. If you use locktite the threads and hole have to be completely clean of oil and debris otherwise you're just ****ing in the wind cause the locktite won't set up. I'm not sure best practice on dry threads or oiled threads. There is a certain amount of difference in torque values though.
 
I use loctite on pretty much everything inside the motor. Mostly use the 242, but the studs get the red.

Does one torque with parts oily or dry, or does it not matter?

It matters a great deal, the required torque values are quite different between dry and lubed threads. Pretty much everything I have ever seen in a manual is a dry torque unless a thread locking compound is called out. Assuming it is a dry number is the conservative choice because the worst that will happen is you under torque the fastener a bit if it was supposed to be lubed, but if you use a dry number on a lubed fastener it is easy to overload the fastener to the failure point.
