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.

Otherwise using the "Red" type, may cause stripping of threads or the Head of the fastener upon removal.

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.

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.
