Blue Loctite pressure plate to flywheel?

Does anyone see any problems with using blue loctite when bolting down the pressure plate to the flywheel to stabilize bolts in place?

Well, the FSM doesn't call for it. But the pressure plate manufacturer more than likely does recommended using it. And so would I. I would also recommend giving the flywheel bolts the same treatment.

Actually, the question is more like red or blue, not blue or none.

The pressure plate bolts are not torqued very high at all, you defintiely want something to keep them from loosening up!

Thx for the replys, what type of loctite would you recommend for the flywheel bolts? Also does it matter that the flywheel is bolted back on the same way it came off. In the FSM they say to make a mark on the flywheel and crankshaft, and then put it back in the same position for re-assembly.

Far as I know it doesn't matter. If the bolt holes line up (both on the flywheel and clutch cover, since it says to mark the clutch cover too but if you're putting a new one on how do you mark it?) then you've got it on right. Not sure what color loctite to use.
