Greetings,
Do you all recommend using a certain type of locktite when installing the trigger cap? I was thinking that a green or blue might be a good idea?

The trigger cap will be loosened and adjusted several times early in the life of your AeroVee while you fine-tune the secondary ignition timing. Loctite on the cap screw during this process may be more trouble than help. However, once you get the timing spot-on, a light-strength threadlocker might give a little extra assistance in keeping the screw from loosening. In practice, I don't think these screws tend to vibrate out on tier own, but strange things happen.

Thanks Jeff, that makes sense. It is right on the centerline and should have little vibration, but I think I may add just a small amount of green lcoktite for a little insurance.
