LOCTITE 640 High-Strength Sleeve Retainer, High-Temperature, High-Stength, Anaerobic Adhesive, For Large Diameter Components, Active Metals | Green, 6 ml Tube (PN: 487235)

This worked really well to secure my dipstick tube into the engine block.

When you need metal locking adhesive this is it.

Use fresh, dont leave on the shelve too long. Works great!

I used this to sleeve a steel tube, and then turn it down. It held on like weld. Just follow the directions.

It is the standard for a reason

I bought this after reading forum posts about staked vs glued ejectors on 1911s. Apparently this is what the pros use to “glue” ejectors. I had a glued ejector from the factory that came loose after 14 years and didn’t feel like having my ejector staked as it would have made me send my frame back for machine work. This worked perfect to glue my ejector and has held solid for a long time.

Used this to repair a loose bearing race on a 78 yr old truck. Alternative was to find a new spindle. This worked great!

Tried to use to secure a bushing in an output extension housing of a truck transmission. Old bushing was spinning in its bore. Supposed to be a press fit. Researched this problem and discovered this product. Followed directions. First cleaned and degreased housing and bushing mating surfaces with BrakeClean. Then applied the Loctite to both surfaces and installed the bushing with a twisting motion. Instructions state the product will set up in 1hr and fully cure after 24hrs. I had the assembly in my house at 72* and after 24hrs product was just as wet as when I installed it. Removed bushing and recleaned , not sure what to do now.

Like most loctite products, it worked like advertised, not cheap, but not Cheap..

Wanted to clean of old bandsaw’s rubber tire the “easy” way. I did but in the process enlarged the bandsaw’s bearing hole. The loctite product says it can fill up some of the space between the bearing and bearing hole. Well it did and 5 years have passed and the bearing is still in there.
