Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Loctite 330 Adhesive

[BSeyler]

I'm installing a tachometer on my son's '91 CTD. The sensor kit contains a small package of Loctite 330 to glue the magnets to the harmonic balancer. I prepared everything and pierced the tube of Loctite. I can hardly get it to come out and it seems like it is almost set up, already. It won't spread and frankly, I was expecting something a little more on the liquid side. I haven't used this particular product before, and am wondering what others who have used it found. Is this normal, or do I have an old tube?

Thanks!
Bud

Just noticed I put this in the wrong place!

I think you'd be OK if you had to use epoxy.

Sounds good - that's what I ended up doing. I won't be starting it tomorrow until late, so the epoxy should be cured. Thanks!
