I'm almost to the point of re-assembling my NP205. Now it calls for a thread sealant on the bolts, but what do I use? Regular lock tight, or another liquid Teflon or something?

Almost all the bolts that came out during disassembly had what looks like a blue sealant on them...a few had white. But the sealant seems to only be on one side of the bolts.

I kind of want to use lock tite...but don't want any weeping from the bolts after assembly.

Thoughts, and or suggestions?

 

we used a white teflon thread sealer on mine the only thing I have a leak on is the rear seal because we pulled it off 2 times .

 

Blue loctite. If you can't afford that, some good ol made in the USA pipe dope.

 

I've done a number of Getrags and NP205's. I use Loctite 567 PST thread sealant on all bolts that enter a case. It looks like liquid teflon, but locks and seals. Has a decent temp rating too.

 

Thank you....that is the specific info I was looking for....
