Hey guys,
I am putting my car back together (...again) and noticed that when I pulled the flywheel off there was Anti-Seize on the threads. Hmmm? For something so crucial on our car I would think to apply some type of Loc-Tite to the threads instead of Anti-seize? But I did rebuild the tranny and install a new clutch about 40,000mi ago and when I pulled the flywheel a few weeks ago it seemed the bolts were still torqued to specifications. At first they were a little firm but loosened up easily (of course). I can't remember the reason why I applied the Anti-Seize the first time but it seems it held.
So what do you guys think? Stick with the Anti-Seize for future work? Or does that sound totally stupid. Do you think I should clean the threads and apply Loc-Tite??
Thanks for the feedback guys! I know it is a really stupid question but I would like a few other opinions before I go with it. Have a good one guys!
Later, B
