Question Aluminum Flywheel/pressure plate mounting

Okay I have put my old RB AL flywheel on my new motor and I need to know what order the spacer and washers go on when bolting the clutch assembly to it. I know it came with instructions and what order they go where but those are long gone, can anyone help me out?

bolt through the washer then through the flywheel then through the pressure plate. then put on a washer then, the nylon lock nuts( you should really get new lock nuts as they are oly supposed to be used once) and put some red loctite on the bolts.

Isn't red loctite a little unnecessary for a bolt that small that only goes to 20 ft-lb's? Wouldn't blue be sufficient? (I don't mean to sound like an ***, I'm still pretty new to this, so just wondering)

It may be. But that's what came with my kit and that's apparently what racing beat thought would be proper, so that's what I would use.
