Generally speaking, any substance used as a thread locker would
probably soften by the time it reaches, say 200 degrees F. And again,
generally speaking, a thread locker probably wouldn't be very soluble
in various solvents.
Since ordinary blue Locktite is used to set engine studs in air-cooled
engines, probably not. Probably closer to 400 deg.
I believe that Loctite states that the temperature limits of Loctite
"blue" is -65F to 300F. But a bit more reading shows that this is the
"improved" version so it is possible that a pistol assembled 38 years
ago might have been assembled with something with lower temperature
limits.
