threadlock on counterweight and flywheel

didn't get a lot of answers in the rotary performance section https://www.rx7club.com/rotary-car-performance-77/threadlock-flywheel-counterweight-273911/

but just wanted to know....should i use a particular kind of thread lock when reinstalling my flywheel and counterweight bolts?

i found some with a trque rating of lik 370lbs but its temp rated to only 300 degrees f.... i've found another that has a temp rating of 450 degrees f but the torque rating is only at like 250.... what do you suggest?

thanks guys

Bolts? The flywheel is held on by a single large nut. Are you talking about pressure plate bolts?

Just use the permanent Locktite (not sure if it's the blue or red stuff).

well yea the flywheel has a nut, but i'm talking about the six bolts to connect the flywheel to the counter balance (lightweight flywheel, not stock..)

blue permatex locktite is what I normally use. Don't need a lot of it.

Either a hardware store or a specialty nut/bolt store.
