I actually attemped to use that stuff once, didn't work, I guess I did not do something right. One thing about cylinder blocks and heads is the thermal cycling, I doubt this has the same coefficient of thermal expansion. Sure it can take 300F but can it take giong back and forth 100's of times.

Usually if a bolt does not pull out during tightening it wont. Reason be when being tightened the threads see both tension and torsion, when tight it only sees tension.


Go to the store and find a nut that fits your stud, if you have than many threads left in the block, you are at 100%. I would pass on the glue, if anything use loctite.
