I use Loctite all the time on my Stihls, cause every now and then you just get one that likes to spit the bolts!

I also noted the factory used a ton of it (and real strong stuff) on my 462's muffler. Turned the bolts back and forth numerous times when I took them out to ensure I did not break them. They were in there "stiff".

Lol I put together my 394 from a bunch of different spare parts but had few Allen screws. She's full of t27's

I remember a post Randy made about 390s blowing out mufflers and spitting head screws loose on the saws he makes for loggers. Of course the intwebz flipped out hearing that, i thought it was a good tech tip.

It's spot on. The ones I see from a logging environment have had loose cylinder bolts, cracked base flanges, or the mufflers will vibrate apart around the screw sleeves. If Stihls survived that long I'm sure they'd have the same issues

046 came in the other day with a retainer bolt rattling around in the muffkin. The baffle kept it out of the port, so no damage occurred.
Seems that the reality is that all brands will shuck a screw if used long enough.

395 all spiffied up, welded, straightened, flattened, painted and baked...oh yeah!

Rodney had a 661 do that. But that baffle didn't stop it :(
