The two green Loctite products that I'm familiar with are the #290 
wicking grade for already-assembled parts, and #601 Retaining 
Compound, which I call circlip-in-a-bottle.  And I'm not sure how 
else to explain it.  It's a compound that retains round stuff, hence 
the name, I guess.  I'm not familiar with #270, but my red #271 
maximum strength threadlocker is intended for fasteners under 1" in 
diameter, so it would make sense for #270 to be similarly strong, I 
think.  I'd be inclined to use #271 on flywheel bolts, but I don't 
really know what I'm talking about.
