I've been looking for Loctite 243. All I've seen in the auto part stores is Permatex Blue in tube and bottle. Is this the same stuff? I want it for fuel rail bolts and the oil filter bolt. Also, what is molycote 111? Is it in a squeeze tube? Is there a substitute?

What about molkote 111 for the ignition coil / spark plug boots. Is that a grease or like RTV sicone sealant. Is there a substitute? The only parts stores we have are NAPA, Auto Zone, Advance Auto, and Pep Boys. I can see myself riding around a lot to find.

Re: Looking for Loctite 243, only find Permatex
Permatex is the consumer brand, Loctite is the industrial brand.
You sure the oil filter bolt requires loctite? I'll have to re-read my manual.
Can't help you on the molykote but I believe it is a grease and not sealant. Where do you see that spec'd?

Link to online parts shows using engine oil instead of the other stuff so does the '03 shop manual. I may have misunderstood the question.

I am sure this is a dielectric grease. Any waterproof, dielectric grease should be OK.
I don't recall anywhere seeing that you should use Loctite on the oil filter bolt.

You're right! I went back and looked. I'm not sure where I got the idea I needed loctite on the filter bolt. I got the Molykote from the fogging tech article: http://server1.sbtontheweb.com/foru...ead.php?t=14046

dundeels I've been using loctite PST for about 10 years on the pump cone plug. Personally, I wouldn't use the loctite blue. Maybe someone else has used it with good results.
You sure that loctite spec is 192? My recollection is 592 but I don't trust my brain like I once did.
"...coil connector edges" Yes that is dielectric grease as stated earlier.
