Mike,
 
    Stock or aftermarket flywheel?  I used studs in an aftermarket aluminum
flywheel.

I'm putting the new McLeod clutch in the Pantera that I purchased from D.
Quella.  In the factory installation instructions it advises not to use lock
washers on the pressure plate bolts, but rather to use Loctite.  What sayeth
the forum?

Is this due to the frequent heat cycling effect on the metal in a lock
washer over time?  Would I want to use blue or red Loctite?  In there with
blue, flat washers and 18 lbs for now.

Thanks in advance!
