Pointers are sometimes offered through the build manual. This little extra instruction would be a nice addition to Notes in the manual.

Thanks Josh!
Yes I missed that little picture simble.
I will look at my old assy manual and see if it is listed on my print.
(Probably is)
I'm guessing this is from a newer manual.
Now the problem, do I try and remove these and start over?
Joe
Just as an FYI, no my print does not show the Loctite symbol. My guess is that came later for liability reasons. Because these are press fit bearings and if installed properly they should not require Loctite. And because some builders would not have experience installing them correctly they might spend to much time with the reamer thinking they need to make them slide in essier. Trust me, the ones we installed are never coming without a bfh.
(As a note, when I say we installed them, I am building this kit together with my brother)
Which brings up another question, can two names be listed for the mfg name at final inspection for certification?
Joe
Sorry to say, but just one person can be named as the builder. That person can also become the repairman who can sign off the condition inspection, but only named builder gets that privilege.

The Loctite will be there for couple reasons. First, it provides a bond between the welded bush and the first bearing/bush you install. Sometimes, you can get o/s on the welded bush ID by getting too excited with a reamer or the ID of the tube was o/s in the first place, so you don't get a good press fit. You need that to make sure it doesn't rotate. The plan is to make sure the inner bearing does the rotating because it's a softer material. Second, the Loctite can act as a corrosion barrier between the two dissimilar metals. The last thing you need is corrosion in primary joints and bare 4130 Chrome Molly steel doesn't handle corrosive conditions well.
