• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

I am in the process of assembling my engine, a Lycoming O-360 A1A. Now Lycoming SI No 1458F says to lubricate the connecting rod bolt threads with something called "Loctite Food Grade Anti-Seize Lubricant, Locktite P/N 1167237 ". I guess that this stuff is impossible to find anywhere, so I think I will just use a little engine oil.
Anything wrong with that ?
I can say that many years ago I worked in an engine shop overhauling Lycomings and Continentals, I do not remember we ever used anything other than just oil for con rod bolts, crankshaft gear bolts and the like..
