Also I've seen the lock tite post hundreds of times but don't remember the general consensus.... So I'll ask it again Lock tite or not to lock tite on the flex plate to converter bolts SDG Motorsports Hellcat Demon and Redeye Supercharger CNC Porting https://www.sdgmotorsports.com/

Clean the bolts on a wire where,clean off any oil that may be on them with an oil free cleaner,make sure bolts are dry and apply 271 (red) loctite, and tighten the heck out of them. 1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27 Livin and lovin life one day at a time

The last couple years the trans has been coming out about every 10-15 passes so it needs to be easy. I've never used Loctite on the converter bolts.

The blue is weaker, but does it "give" enough to work better in this particular application?

YOU have a really ruff lawn to mow... 2 acers worth of thick grass. I just like to make sure it looks nice. Sharp blades and a walker ztr mower gets the baseball field look.
