NPP rattle fix epoxy

I've taken just about all I can of the annoying rattling coming from the valves on my npp system. I'm going to attempt to fix it the GM way by adding epoxy to the ceramic pin but I can not find the epoxy they call for anywhere. Loctite fixmaster poxy pak?? can anyone provide a link to the epoxy or any other one that would work? I've tried looking up the part number but too many different products come up and I wouldn't know which one to go with. Thanks ahead of time.

Loctite is available also at AutoZone. I noticed you have a 2017-apparently we should have the "fixed cars" (per GM) from the factory. Its not fixed for my 2017 and I did the same thing you are planning to do. I have noticed the rattle returned a few days days later though so I am interested to see how things go for you.

My car definitely isn't one of the "fixed" ones! Haha. I'm hoping this fix holds out long enough for me to save up and order flowmaster's npp mufflers. I'll get it done as soon as the epoxy comes in and I'll post some results. Should be late this week.

I have a 2017 that isn't fixed either. I have already had the dealer "fix" it once. Fix lasted a few weeks. I was going to have them fix it again next oil change. Curious how easy it is to do in the driveway as I might just do it myself.

Question for guys that are suffering from this issue: Was it seen from day 1? Or did it manifest after some time?
