You do know 70ftlbs on an M10 12.9 bolt, lubricated, is about 20ftlbs past the recommended maximum torque value... right?

Nice job ! So this kit comes with 8 bolts right ? The instructions for this kit say to use Loctite 242 on the bolt threads and the ARP lube under the bolt head. Thanks again

ARP's own instructions which you can find by clicking the link I posted above and then select kit instructions show 70ft-lbs. I think they know a few things about fasteners.

Great info, thanks for posting.
I have an L32, aluminum flywheel bolted on with Grade 9 McMaster Carr bolts and washers and Red Locktite.
It's got about 1000 miles and so far so good, but I saved the page just in case.

Glad you finally went this route. My 3/8 bolts are still holding up but this looks even better.

I got the idea from Scott when he told me about your twin disc. It drives me NUTS how often he is right. Funny, he is the 1st person I told about this. He said you'd like it.

The instructions say lubricate the threads with Loctite 242(which is blue) and under the head with ARP lubricant. That is very different than lubricating it with arp lubricant like your OP says. I'd say update the OP because that could cause serious issues to anyone who reads it. Blue and Red threadlocker are meant to give close to dry torque values. ARP lube at 70ftlbs is putting those way past the max torque

You are just being pedantic at this point. The instructions are there AND the TQ spec is 70ft-lbs. I have never used ARP lube on any surface but the bolt head. Thats common sense. Again, ARP's own instructions are posted. My thread is a guide like any other.[This message has been edited by BV MotorSports (edited 01-27-2016).]
