Altenator bolt keeps coming loose.

[foxbodymike87]

The bolt that holds the fan and pulley keeps coming loose and makes the fan rattle..ive torqued to to 60 ft pds and it still comes loose. Should i loc tite it and see if that helps or is there a specific torque i should tighten it to?

loc-tite it

Someone's sig on here says something close to "crossthreading is better than loctite"
Lmao just kidding. Don't do that.

Yeah, but use the servicable loctite so you'll be able to break them loose when you need to. Also check the fan for missing chunks to make sure it's not out of balance causing your problem...

EDIT: oh- ALTERNATOR bolt.. Man all I saw was fan. LOL. Probablynot missing any chunks out of the alt fan... blue loctite FTW.

crossthread is better than loc tite.

Another one for blue Loc-Tite.

crossthread is better than loc tite.

... And reading what's already been posted is better than you apparently, haha.

shut up

If loc-tite does not work then drill the heads of the bolts and safety wire them.

Better yet, MIG it.

 

[Shakerhood]

Safety wire is easily removed.
