I only found that Devcon at a machine shop. Expensive for a pint, but when you took the top off of the resin, it would start smoking.

With the Devcon, you could clean existing, smear it in, and re-tap threads.
better than jb weld.

Don't think I gave you the ULTIMATE product. It was just a product for repairing worn threads from a reputable company. Devcon, JB Weld, and probably good ole 5 min epoxy would do the job better than any thread locker, because it would fill the gaps and prevent movement.
Whatever you use, just understand that the next fix will requier a new bellhousing. Keep an eye open for a good one at a good price.
