Since I am new to the 22R I haven't yet learned all of the tricks and secrets. I'll be assembling my overhauled engine this weekend and I was wondering if it is recommended to use Loctite on the flywheel bolts and the crank pulley. I haven't found any threads or literature about this, so any input is appreciated.

You need a manual bud.

Its always a good idea to put locktite on flywheel, and crankpulley bolts.:skull:

You will make a good one, you are already an asshole :D :D

TyTY,

I have a manual, two of them in fact. Chilton's, and How to Keep Your Toyota Pickup Alive - from the John Muir idiot series (I should give that one to you, seems it would be a good fit).

Neither manual mentions the use of Loctite.

Use it!! Cheap insurance:eek: :eek: :D

Why do you think that I wanna go so bad?:D:D:D:D:D

Locktite never seems to hurt, especially if it's something thats gonna be buttoned up for awhile, ie. flywheel bolts.

Personally I DONT use Loctite on the flywheel bolts.

OEM didnt have it.

Besides - imagine the FUN yer gonna have the NEXT time ya try to take it off...

I looked real close at the bolts. Thread them by hand into the crank with the flywheel off. They should go in EASY all the way.

If they have any "stickiness" - the bolts have streached - get NEW ones.

Ive found they are good for about 2 re-uses (that three total uses).

Flywheel bolts are a VERY high stress item - in many ways like rod bolts and head bolts.

I know the"Ford" ones are "steamhead" bolts - originally designed to be used on train boilers - flywheel bolts are (and need to be) over engineered. The Toyota ones didnt have the "steamhead" cuts in em - but are made with a recessed hex and a circular sealing surface.

See the Carrol Smith book on "nuts and bolts" for more detail than ya wanna know about bolts and Flywheel bolts in particular.

BTW - Toyota rightly used some weird odd ball thread for the flywheel bolts - makes it HARD to stuff some grade 8 "junk" bolt in there.
