Which type of locking compound for flywheel...

Which type of locking compound do I need to use on the six flywheel bolts on my 2.0L zetec ?

Secondly where do you get if from at a reasonable price.

Thirdly do I need to lock the clutch locating dowels and clutch basket (cover) mounting bolts as well ?

thanks

Got a bottle of the blue stuff, I use for bolts I may need to undo at some time in the future. Can I use the same stuff ?. I have seen other types which are red and green (apparently stronger and more permanent) ? Have seen talk of Loctite Green Loctite red ?? Don't really know the difference between them all !!!


thanks

Take a look at RS Components web site. They have a data sheet on line that gives all the info on the strengths and characteristics for the various types of Loctite products. They have a stupid URL something like rs.www.com
