Oh bugga, Ian. :palm: I would go with the stud and threadlock idea, to stabilise the remaining threads. I have used Loctite 270, for many years. Even for steam engine (exhaust) pipe joints, and hot air engine displacers. Never had a failure........ :thumbup: David D |

Loctite 270 is down to less than half it's strength at 150 deg C and the makers don't push their graph beyond that temperature ! |

I've used it for many years, without problem......... Everyone. Make your own mind up. :thumbup: David D |

Relevant graphs are on page 2 http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/22660.pdf They quote 250 deg C as the temperature to raise it to to break the joint |

What sort of temperatures is the cylinder likely to reach? |
