I do the bolts up F.T. (Fucking Tight)
Me too, until I went to a class on fasteners..
All threaded studs or bolts must be tightened no more than the "stretch" component allows.
IF you pull the "stretch" out of a fastener, then the assembly is subjected to HEAT, the fastener cannot then stretch any more, failure of the assembly may result..
On flywheel bolts, I suggest Grade 8[
Au = grade 12.9]
US GR-8 will be Gold in color and have SIX marks on the head.
US and Metric Bolt Torque GuideI suggest Red Loctite, upon removal, simply use a propane torch for a few seconds on the head, and the loctite will let go.
Fastenall Bolt SpecsBigV and A14 both have ideas feasible to me.
Lemonhead's 680 loctite is a Cylindrical Retaining products, not designed for threads.
