Gadge, I have used buckets of No 3 with great success over the years and it is about half the price of the Loctite but in this situation, providing the mating surfaces are good the No3 should be fine. My use of the Loctite is on old motorcycle engines that have been pulled to bits and butchered so many times and a lot were from India where their idea of leveling the case deck where the barrel bolts on is to rub it back and forth a few times on the concrete,and their only tools are a hammer and a chisel, trust me on this. This needs Loctite for sure
