The bolts torque/stretch is really supposed to do the work of holding the components together, if you're relying on the Loctite to hold it together you gotta wonder why....I use loctite as a measure of insurance so blue should be sufficient on most bolts, I've seen more dampenerer bolts come loose than flywheel bolts but I'd sure never put red loctite on one....
I don't think I've ever seen blue come loose on a NEW bolt that had been PROPERLY cleaned, prepared and torqued to the right spec. Reused bolts are another matter that's why I don't reuse bolts in critical areas.

I use the red but I have forgotten to use anything BUT I use my impact to tighten them.... I have had 1 bolt come loose over the years(before I started using the impact on them) ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif)

If you absolutely, positively dont ever want it to come apart, there is a green loctite that will not let it come apart without a maximum amount of effort.
That is stud and bearing mount, not really intended for nut's and bolt's. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif)
Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.
