With a 3/4" impact gun

Seriously, do not use Loctite.
Use whatever lubricant is recommended by the manufacturer and torque to spec.

I don't know who's more hopeless, the OP, or the OP's friend for letting the OP build his motor.

Dude, we were trying to help you but loc-tite? Did you honestly think about that before you posted? Does honda assembly motors and put loc-tite on the mains? Better yet due professional engine builders use loc-tite on the mains? If the motor is going to let go, loc-tite sure as hell isn't going to hold it together at those speeds.

Whatever e-thug, if you were so smart then why didn't you look into ARP hardware if your friend is gonna "BEAT THE ****" out of the motor. And it's spelled "Loctite"

I hate to see any honda motor ruined so...

Either use the ARP Moly lube that comes with the studs, and torque to their specs.

Or use 30w motor oil and torque to Honda OEM Specs.

Good luck...to your friend.

Don't forget to put a little jb weld on the bearing back halves so you don't spin a bearing.

I am sure when this build fails, it will be Eagles fault. Or this has to be a troll thread, no one is really that dumb. I hope.
