Question of ARP bolt install with New ATI Damper install Ok guys, I just installed my new ATI Damper with a install tool and made sure it was seated. I used the old OEM bolt and torqued it down to 240 ft/lbs, then removed. I used anti-seize on the crank snout along with hi-temp silicone RTV in the key slot on the damper since I do not have a keyed crank, prior to install.
Now ARP recommends to use their lube (which I have) on the threads, underside of bolt head, and damper face where bolt makes contact, then torque to 235 ft/lbs.
ATI (Now this is what they recommend when using the ARP Bolt) recommends to use Hi-Temp Silicone RTV on both sides of washer, and 262 red loctite on threads, then torque to 230 ft/lbs.
Does anyone know the correct process I should use when installing the ARP Bolt?

Unless you want to do it multiple times from the balancer spinning the bolt off, use the locktite.
I put on an ATI and didnt key it and used the ARP bolt and lube and the balancer walked off and the bolt was loose. I re-did it and used red 262 and keyed it and it hasn't moved. Install with a balancer tool then torque the ARP bolt to 245lbs
Replace the timing cover seal too
