And Subaru doesn't use Loctite on their head bolts. Oil would defeat the purpose loctite, which was my point from the beginning.
Also from Loctite's website:
"Grease, dirt, or oil in the assembly can slow curing, leading to a weak bond."

I saw it on ALLDATA.
I have never used Loctite on head bolts or studs, and never used or suggested anyone use both lubricant and Loctite on ANY fasteners; but have used thread sealant (alone) when they penetrate the water jacket.
