Flywheel and PP bolts ?
Rather than tack on to the excessively long clutch thread I thought I would ask this question separately.
In the past I have been advised to replace the FW bolts, especially if they have been torqued down more than once. The theory being the bolts are stretched and will not maintain torque as well when reused. And since a FW bolt at high rpm could cause considerable damage it is better to be safe than sorry.
The manual does not specify replacement is needed (or at least I did not see it). Opinions?
Also many guides to FW and PP replacement recommend using Locktite on the fasteners. Opinions?
