Didn't the engines come from the factory with sheet metal bend-over tab locks? I know they have a tendency to get messed up over the years....I just used an old one as a pattern and cut out some new ones from some scrap sheet metal. I drilled the holes before I cut them down so I would have some extra material to clamp onto. When I bend the tabs over, I KNOW the flywheel bolts aren't going to loosen up.

I love loctite but have a little more faith in a mechanical lock, especially when it's dependent on having clean, oil free surfaces to lock up properly. Just my thoughts!
