SB01 box-- Aasco's website calls for loc-tite on the crankbolts but not the clutchcover bolts which are what came undone on mine. I'm going to give the HOLES alittle dab--could it hurt?
It was interesting that Aasco's instructions stated to make sure none of the loc-tite on the crank bolts was pushed off the threads and under the flywheel mating surface--my 'Porsche trained 'mechanic didn't use loc-tite but the oil on the bolts (probably the oil used in their MFG) had been forced off them and covered approx. 80% of the flywheel-crank mating surfaces, although to no obvious effect. I found the same result on my 2-piece wheels which I'm refinishing--I don't know if any loc-tite actually existed on the threads after they were installed as it was all over the mating surfaces instead. Perhaps it's best to squeeze a drop INTO bolt holes instead of ONTO bolt threads.
HOMEBOY: See my thread on 'strange clutch behaviour' for more details...
