Flywheel to crank is 70 foot pounds. Clutch to flywheel is 21 foot pounds.
don't forget the RED Loctite!
I've never had a failure using the blue. I'd have to check, but I believe the FSM specifies blue. The only thing I've ever used red on was ring gear bolts in the transmission.
Last time I used red, I broke the head off a grade 8 bolt trying to get it out. Red is supposed to be "permanent" install.
Thanks for the confirmation. That's what I thought it was.
I think red is supposed to require heat in order to remove. That's one of the reasons I don't use it where it's not called for. I wouldn't want to put heat into the end of the crank and risk damaging a seal, heat treat, etc.
Lol yeah, it does. Had the "parent metal" smoking hot, still broke the bolt.
There's a red for high temperature that's not the permanent kind.
Factory uses blue thread locker on the flywheel to crank bolts and clutch to flywheel bolts. No need for red here.
