flywheel installation

Hello,

I'm about the bolt on the flywheel to the crank {crate 350}. The instructions that came with the flywheel {Zoom} said to use threadlocker? I've installed many flywheels and never used any threadlocker before. Any ideas? Also, does anyone remember the torque specs for the flywheels bolts and the pressure plate bolts?

Thanks!!!

Necessary? I don't know. Recommended, absolutely. I wouldn't put it together without using blue Loctite.

Although threadlocker is no substitute for proper fastener torque, it is always a good idea.

Same situation as in posting #6, as far as I'm concerned.
