So im installing a new clutch and using ARP flywheel bolts. ARP's instructions state to torque the bolts to 58ft/lbs using their moly lube or 85ft/lbs using 30wt oil.

It seems that many people use loctite instead of lube on the bolts for extra insurance. I would kind of like to use loctite so I know the bolts wont back out. What should I torque to using red loctite? Or just I just use 30wt oil instead? I really don't want these bolts coming out.

For reference, Toyota's spec is 54ft/lbs.

What did you guys torque to?

Per ARP:
Lubed with their Moly Lube - 58 ft/lbs
Lubed with 30wt motor oil - 85 ft/lbs
If Red LocTite is used - 65 ft/lbs.

Yea I just called ARP..DOH!

He said to torque 10ft/lbs over the spec for moly lube is red loctite is used.
So 68 it is.

The only thread I found on the subject someone said they torqed to 75, so I just wanted to make sure.

Thanks!
