ARP Bolt Info Needed Quick

Right im fitting my aluminium fly tonight and have some ARP flywheel bolts to bolt it on. I was told the bolts came with Arp bolt lube but they did not so im going to have to use engine oil and torque it to 90ftlb instead of 70ftlb as instructed. My question is, should i use loctite on the ARP flywheel bolts as well?

No way would I use engine oil as bolt lube

Use Locktite and then torque to ARP's specification.

Thats what ARP tell you to do if you dont have any of there lube iirc. Engine oil will give more consitent torquing than a dry bolt or locktite imo, but they do need to be torqued higher.
