It couldnt hurt. But i think going by factory specs and you should be alright.

You should think about the ammount of heat that locktite will see. Atleast use the high temp stuff not the blue stuff. I didnt use any and made sure everything was at the right torque.

I don't remeber if I did either... :P

I probably didn't on the flywheel, but I thought the torque was only 12 or 18#? I know for a fact I didn't on the clutch. Used the supplied lock washers instead.

No real reason to, the factory doesnt recommend you to. I've done tons of clutch jobs on cars, just torque them down nice and tight!

I've gotten papers before with fidanza fly's that warn you specifically NOT to use loctite or any thread locker on your flywheel bolts. The reason being that some people take all the flywheel bolts, apply thread locker, put them in place, and then torque them down in the right pattern...the problem being it gives the thread locker enough time to create enough grip to throw your torque measurments off.
