I’m about to refit the flywheel to the 12J.
The manual doesn’t mention loctite on the 8 bolts, but I saw that Britannia used it on his videos.
Any views?
Cheers Jim

Can't really do any harm, and could save trouble later.

I put some on my TD5 flywheel bolts, it can't hurt.

That's a good choice, medium strength, don't want anything too strong, some of them are like welding the bolts.
The TD5 bolts are a torque then stretch type.
