Anyone recommend a variation / type of loctite or other brand that can be used on things like camshaft bolts, that are constantly covered in oil?

I have some old as f**k blue loctite that i used on the last rebuild - it is now evident that it did jack as it was all powdery and the bolts where very easy to remove..... even though the engine had not been used Rolling Eyes

Which blue you using? 242?

243 is the oil resistant one.

Google 243, says "slight contamination" of engine oils etc.
Apparently 2400 is white and has excellent chemical resistance...

Would that be ok for cam sprocket bolts?
