sid_vicious Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Hi, I just received a new oil separator cover (P/N 11831AA210) to replace my older plastic version, and I have a question about the bolts. The oil separator cover is now sold as a kit with all six bolts, which doesn't seem unusual. What I don't understand is why it comes with five of one type of bolt (P/N 800406140) and one of a different type (P/N 800406150), which is pre-treated with red Loctite. There is an arrow pointing to one of the holes on the separator cover, which I assume must indicate the location of this unique bolt. I had planned on applying blue Loctite to all the bolts, but I'm now puzzled. If Subaru thought Loctite should be used, wouldn't they have pre-treated ALL the bolts for the oil separator cover, and why the one special bolt? Thanks for any info you might have on this, Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 that bolt may seal up against a oil galley or a water galley, hence why its a differnt part number. That red isnt thread lock, but thread sealant. nipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
