Quick question. Are stock LS flex plate bolts re-useable or are they TTY non-useable?

 

I reuse mine with blue loctite .
The manual says 3 passes 15ft/lbs, 37ft/lbs, and 74ft/lbs.
No mention of replacing or torque to angle.
That said ARP flywheel bolts are always a good choice for race applications.

 

Don't you think that would be a job for red Loctite? Those are some bolts you definitely don't want loosening up (trust me, I've seen it)...

What do you even use blue Loctite for?
I've always figured that if I want something to stay put, I might as well use the toughest stuff available.

 

The only fasteners that I have ever used "Blue" Thread-Locking Compound with, are small sizes like 1/4"-20 or smaller.
Otherwise using the "Red" type, may cause stripping of threads or the Head of the fastener upon removal.

 

They are technically reusable... But I do not recommend it more than twice.

Purchase a set of ARP replacement fasteners... and reuse them all you want.

 

Thanks for the replies. I unbolted them from my L92 and I'm going to reuse on my L92. I do use red loctite most larger bolts. Never had one strip because of red loctite. One place you do need to be careful with loctite is if you using a standard bolt going into aluminum. When you try to remove it it may gall the tapped threads.

 

Most alloys of Stainless-Steel are particularly hazardous to aluminum threads... be careful when doing so.

Often a Thread Locking Compound will not be needed with steel fasteners in aluminum (unless the Torque-Spec is very low or the Fastener is very small).
Anti-seize Compound if often a better choice for aluminum.
