Hi all,
I have read conflicting info: Some say that you should not reuse flywheel bolts Others say to reuse them with some loctite blue and all is good. Seems obscene that these are $10+ each bolt. It looks like a number of Toyota equivalents are also M10 x 1.25, what I can not find is the length of the Porsche bolts. Seems like something like these should work if you can get the right length? http://www.ebay.com/itm/ARP-M10-x-1-25-x-2...8ah&vxp=mtr Thoughts? |

I have never replaced them, I always re use them.
Do use locktight. They are not torque to yield, and that makes them reusable. |

I have used flywheel and head stud bolts a second time on many watercooled VW and on the early BMW's I had ....never an issue. No Loctite ? not sure about that,it can't hurt. Hell $10 for 914 flywheel bolts...nothing,check out what the price is for 6 bolt flywheel 911 ones ,its mental. |
