Question Injector Sleeve Retaining Compound

I'm doing injectors, and I need the compound. I know the "official" answer is Loctite 620, but that isn't available locally, and I can't wait for it to be shipped.

A local NAPA can get me Permatex #64000 (6ml tube) or 64040 (36ml bottle), which is their sleeve retaining compound part#
Retaining Compounds : Permatex® High Temperature Sleeve Retainer

It appears that it should be the equivalent to the Loctite 620, having similar properties, via the TDS and MSDS.

I asked their tech line, and the sort-of answer was "it should be the same". I asked for a definitive answer. They said the company chemists would review it, and inform me if it was indeed functionally/chemically identical to the Loctite 620.

However, I may not be able to wait the 2-3 days they said an answer would take. So, does anyone have experience with this product? Is it the equivalent of the "officially" specified Loctite?

Do you have a Ford dealer near you? I'd use the product it calls for. Where did you get the sleeve's? It should of came with them.
