I have ARP 209-2801 bolts for the flywheel for a 2.0.
The instructions say to use loctite 242 and "ARP ULTRATORQUE FASTENER ASSEMBLY LUBRICANT" just under the head of the bots.

I cannot get my hands on them two and need to install the bolts today. Would any thread locking lubricant do or will I need them specific lubricants?

Thanks

EDIT: They sell this in halfords which is 248 and not 242. This will work will it?

loctite 242 is just a medium strength thread locker
don't know about the lubricant

you can get loctite from any motor factors or b&Q etc

Ahh right. I thought it was a specific thing I needed to use.
Local motor factors have thread locking stuff (medium) which I will get.

Now question is what can I use instead of ARP lubricant under the head of the bolt?

 

[Matthew]

dont know what it is, may as well ask when you are there?

you should have got some of that lube free with the bolts according to ARP, they also state you will not achieve the required torque if you do not use it under the head of each arp bolt

buy it in loads of places too

With the old packaged bolts iirc it was 55fylb with arp moly lube and 85ftlb if used clean engine oil.

Any threadlock will do though matey.
