Default Re: Question about Loctite?

Are you using a bolt that fastens to a threaded boss on the torque converter or are you using a nut and a bolt that goes through the converter and flywheel?

I am a firm believer that if a fastener is engineered correctly for the application you shouldn't need any Locktite at all. There is a lot more to engineering fastener applications than a lot of guys think and pretty much take for granted. A bolt should have the proper stretch for the application among other things like the type of material, torque, etc. Talk to the experts at ARP they will ask you a lot of questions and get you the proper fastener for your particular application.
