Robert & Kai,
I bought my ARP Bolts from APT in California and they came with no
washers. From your post it sounds like I should have. Also does anyone
recommend using Lok-tite on the bolts? I have read several threads on mostly
Japanese car forums where Fidanza flywheels worked loose and tore themselves
up. I notice the TR6 has no locking tabs or washers on the flywheel bolts.
Any thoughts?
Thanks Nick
