Flywheel bolt install procedure

[Another MkIII]

Ok, so I have run into another minor dilemma. My service manual says to use Loctite on the flywheel bolts, but the TSRM says to lubricate them with motor oil. So what should I use? Oil, Loctite, something else, or nothing?

Always washed the bolts and holes with paint thinner then used 262 loctite.

 

[Poodles]

Yep, 262 is the red stuff, use it.

1 loose flywheel will ruin your entire day just ask Zazzn

 

[Poodles]

Not to mention it's extremely dangerous...

Won't red be tight as hell? Can it even be removed?

[IJ.]

yes and yes

Would you rather look at your tranny tunnel, and think to yourself: "Yep, that flywheel 'ain't goin' anywhere..."

Or:

"Wherez mah legz at, and whuts all dis blood!?"

I like the first option better...

[IJ.]

Rear main seal in the engine and front seal in the trans

Take a look at the first page of my build thread, link in sig.....that happens when your flywheel decides it doesn't want to be attached anymore

<< Old but still have both legs

Easy removal = impact gun

Or a quality socket and breaker bar...

Also, according to ARP, LocTite is very slippery,
and requires less torque than a dry bolt.

And red LocTite is easily defeated wit heat.
When I snapped the heads off all 6 of my ARPs on my flywheel,
I heated the stubs with a little hand torch, and they screwed right out.
About 300°f, and the stuff turns to mush.

Trying to hold the engine from turning is hell though.

One of the ONLY times I ever use an impact as I prefure the control of leverage...
