OK so i bought a revo 2.5 from my dad's work friend who ran it head on into his car tire, the front end was all smashed, chasis bent, and it had sat in storage for a few years. Bought it for $70. Fixed up the front, everything is working except the engine. Took it into NorCal Hobby, my local shop, and the owner Eric felt around and told me that i need a new piston and sleeve, shelled out $60 for that, hoping it would fix it. Watched lots of youtube, read lots of forums and finally took the engine apart. Everything went smoothly, except the block on the back of the engine that the motor attaches to has some stripped screw-holes. I have tried using longer screws and filling the space with washers, but then the motor doesn't fit snug and wont work. I was thinking about using some loctite Red 272 to coat the screws and fit them in there. Will this work? and what if it does work and i can't get the screws out next time? This is my first nitro RC car thanks for the help!!
