Do you guys put locktite on the bolts holding the pressure plate onto the flywheel? I know orginally there was just the bolts and lock washer but they did not have locktite when the cars were made.

Hey guys,
I have to say I agree with Randy on this one. I would use blue loctite on the pressure plate and save the red loctite for the bolts on the flywheel.
