The spindle on the LSV is leaking and I don’t fancy changing the valve for fear of starting with one leak and ending up with three! So, I am going to try the trick with Loctite 55 and wrap it around the spindle and put the nut back.
My question is, should I also use a dab of hawk white or perhaps a small amount of silicon grease, or will this have no benefit at all? I have all items at my disposal so that is not an issue. Is there even a better way that I haven’t already mentioned?

TIA
