Are you guys using thread locker on your convertor to flexplate bolts?

yes

yes and check them periodically too.

Blue locktite is what you want.Rocky

I use the red locktite and I can get my impact on them
(in the starter area without the starter in) and get
them good and tight. Same thing when I take them out

i use the blue without issue. if i used red i would never get them back out. before i started using thread locker, the bolts would contantly loosen.

I use red and tighten to 30 Ft Lbs. Haven't had one come loose since I started doing it this way.

I have always used blue. never had one back out.

I've used both. Red is diffucult to remove. A few thoughts. The torque applied with a impact gun to a 3/8" bolt would probably be excessive. Why don't converter bolts come loose on a high milage street car without locktite? I locktite mine and have over torqued them also. Just wondering why they tend to come loose in a drag racing application.

I don't know where people got the idea that a bolt with red Loctite would "never come loose". Maybe it's material for a future Mythbuster episode. They always come out, sometimes if they are a little stubborn, all it takes is a little heat(nothing exotic-I just use a mini torch at the shop) and they back right out.

Always use red loctite on TC bolts. Actually, it's a good idea to loctite just about everything on a drag car. Bolts like starter bolts, trans to bell bolts, motor mounts, pulleys, driveshafts etc, etc. Many guys are still using 40 year old blocks and trans cases and the threased holes have been compromised over the years. One would be surprised at how many bolts are loctited by the factory on your daily driver. The reason for going overboard on a race car is the parts are under stress constantly and the violent shock of launching the car can lead to fastener loosening and subsequent component failure.

red and my convertor bolts are 7/16

Okay, Okay! I'm using the RED and the BLUE at the same time so that every body is happy. How's that? LOL

Thanks a lot guys. I've used Locltite before on them, but just forgot which one with all the stuff I have in mind these days.

We use red loc tite on everything on diesels, never had any problems pullin the bolts with a long wrench and a bump with the palm, I use the blue on stuff like toilet seats and fords Oops, only kiddin, We dont use anything on fords

go red
