Does anyone use any thread lock to hold the anode onto the cap? I am replacing the anodes on my aftercoolers and heat exchangers and 2 of the anodes unscrewed off the caps and stayed inside the exchanger and aftercooler. I had checked that they were tight before I installed them but they still unscrewed from the caps. Now I had to order new gaskets for the heat exchanger and new O rings for the aftercooler, $45 and $85. The worst thing is that I have to remove the aftercooler in order to get the end cap off to get the anode out. Then reassemble it and pressure test it. The remove and reinstall will take at least 2 hours of hard work. So maybe I need to be using a thread locker on the anodes before I install them.
