Loctite
Got absolutely everything for this clutch install finally.
EXCEPT the recommended loctite
I've searched around and everyone is suggesting 'Red loctite'.
I visited the main website and there's a lot of specificity involved in choosing a particular loctite.
Also, i have ARP pressure plate bolts and Flywheel bolts. (i've heard that people are concerned that they should use the ARP lube to get an accurate torque reading) What do you guys think?
Oh, and if i use the Red loctite... will i ever be able to uncork those bastards without a heating torch?
If anyone can link me to the **** i need to get, i'd be very appreciative

Blue Blue Blue.... always use blue. If you want to drop a nut go for the red. I have changed 4 clutches on my car and used blue. Even on the dreaded Textralia Allen pressure plate bolts that are famous for backing out. As long as you torque them to spec they're fine. The blue Loctite is for added insurance.

go with the red, those bolts don't get much moisture so they won't rust making it harder, and the bolts are big and strong enough for red. Use blue loctite on smaller bolts that may shear off or round out with too much torque applied.
