Real nice work, Doc, but are you REALLY finished??
Some info for members. I had used blue loctite on the inside of the heat shield band to held hold the heat shield in place. Yesterday, I removed the heat shield and found that the blue loctite I used only had a spotty application. I then tried Permatex blue GEL thread locker. The gel is nice and thick. The gel was pushed out from under the heat shield on all sides of the front band when I tightened the mounting screws. I know I now have a good, consistent coating of the blue thread locker under the heat shield that will better help hold the heat shield in place. So, try the Permatex blue gel thread locker if you have an application that needs a good coat of the thread locker.
