=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 I am preparing to bolt the ring gear onto a newly =
lightened TR3 flywheel. I am thinking of using the special bolts sold by Mo=
ss. My question is: Should I use tab washers to lock the bolts on? I could =
use lockwashers and Loctite Blue and get better results, I think. Any nugge=
ts of wisdom out there?=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 Likewise, I have the origin=
al flywheel to crankshaft bolts. I could upgrade to the fancy ARP 12 point =
bolts that Moss sells, but it is probably not necessary on a Standard Vangu=
ard street engine. I think on my last TR3 rebuild I just used lockwashers. =
Again, Moss sells tab washers to lock it on, but I think that lockwashers a=
