ARP flywheel bolts--install up-date [no Loctite]
I received my my ARP flywheel bolts and washers from APT and I just got off the phone with them. They say not to use Loctite, they sent out a small tube of ARP Moly lube with the ARP instructions. ARPs recomendation is to clean the bolts, apply the lube and torque and loosen the bolts three times. They say the problem with bolts loosening is that the bolts have not been stretched or seated good enough with a one time torque. Recomended torque with the moly lube applied is 65lb. ----------- With an aluminum flywheel you must use the hardened washers but one question they couldnt answer is, do you use them on a stock steel flywheel??--Any opposing opinions on ARP instructions??
