I have had this happen on other engines. 243(blue) wont cut it. Use 262 super stud lock, put plenty on dont be shy with it. Use a primer first on the threads internally and externally, Use the arp .You could run them at 80 ft pound not a problem too, I have run 90 on 7/16 unf flywheel bolts.

aerosol primer 7471(it stinks wear a P2 mask). It helps a lot. Use 262 or 277 threadlocker. 277 is higher strength then 262 but either one will be sufficient. I would dowel aswell just to be safe.

what kind of noises are you hearing? My transmission has started making noises lately. When the car is running and the clutch is out I can hear what sounds like the transmission or clutch turning. When I press the clutch down I can hear whatever is turning slow down to a stop. Then again as soon as I let out on the clutch I hear whatever is turning speed back up. Its almost a "whining" noise. Also I can "feel" the slight vibrations through the clutch pedal.
I might be pulling the tranny soon.
BTW- my car is a cam only stock LS1. Car has 112,000 miles on it and tranny was rebuilt at 36,000 miles. Clutch is a centerforce 12" DF. with about 20,000 miles on it.
