Default Is Loctite needed for grounding kit?

I just got my gounding kit half way around the world, sure was a pain to get it.

I now read through the instruction and I got a question, what is loctite and is it needed?

I don't think I can walk into a hardware store and ask for loctite, since most of the people won't know what it is, espcecially in english.

So is it really needed? What does it do, that way at least I can describe to them what I need.

Thanks guys.

loctite is basically glue for screw threads.

I would advise against using it after hearing numberous people have broken the bolds off on their engine trying to install the grounding kit.

shitty bolts imo

No. You don't need locktite. And if you did use it, you better be REALLY happy with that grounding kit because those bolts would be a major PITA to get back off.

Loctite is just the name of the company that makes the glue. It comes in about 25 different varieties which determines their gripping strengh. Most loctite can be loosened by the application of heat.
