<< What is the general concensus on using Loc-Tite versus anti-Sieze compound
 on the pressure plate bolts and/or the flywheel bolts?
 
 Anit-sieze lubricates the threads so that you get a more accurate torque
 reading, but it doesn't necessarily provide any "gluing" effect like
 Loc-Tite does.  Any suggestions?
 
 Thanks.

Hi Pete,

I would think that if you torqued your bolts soon enough after you applied the
Loc-Tite, it would act as a lubricant before it cured....  

Just a thought
