Thread: Red or Blue Locktight on the bolts that hold on my Flex Plate???

Tweet

Hi Everyone, What color Locktight should I use on the bolts that hold my Flex Plate on? Red or Blue? 392 Hemi, 8 holes that are tapped for 1/2" x 20. Should I use lock washers? Thanks Bill

Red if ya don't ever need it to come apart.
Blue if ya need it to come back apart.
Blue and the proper torque should be fine.......

reds not to bad i use that on every thing that bigger then a 1/4 bolt or stud and use it on fly wheels but like said blue will work ok .i got in to a habit of using red and that all i use less i putting in plugs or sleeves then it 620 green and that is the stuff would be good to use on someones car you did not like

....Thank You Hworrell & Pat, I will use the Red than. My car rattles big time. The bolts that hold the Torque Converter to the Flex Plate came loose twice & the car only had like 12 K on it.... Thanks again ; Bill

red comes apart easier if you add heat first.

I use red on anything that is critical to safe operation. That's a pretty long list.

....Thanks Firebird & Pro70, "use on anything that is critical to safe operation" hmmm, good advice..... heat takes it off? good to know, I have a torch!! Thanks again, Bill
