Use red Loc-tite and cinch them down to 100 ft/lbs.

That would be for the 6 bolts to the crankshaft.

The six bolts for the pressure plate would be much less. 15 ft/lbs is spec, but I use 25-30 ft/lbs with an act 2600.

I've never, ever seen different torque specs specifically for the aluminum flywheels.

LocTite Strength

I believe in overkill as much as the next guy.. but the Break Tork of "Red" Loctite is 190ft/lb and "Blue" is 115 ft/lb. As the tork spec of the flywheel is 100 ft/lb shouldn't blue be used?

Just wondering about the inevitable disassembly process and potential for stripping or breaking bolts and threads.

BTW.. the operating temperature range of both are -65-300F.. so this shouldn't be an issue.

What strength LocTite should be used on the PP bolts?
