    no need to go to town, over tightening fails IMO... the torque setting is specified for a reason. if the bolts are coming undone, your doing something wrong.
    Use a hi strength thread locker... you can usually get low, med and hi strength.
    Torque to factory spec or as per instructions and torque in the correct pattern.
    would advise applying torque in 1/3'ds.
    eg, final value 60nm, start with 20, then 40, then 60.

    if using arp gear, and dont have the spec sheet...

    Some flywheels you can just tighten them without torquing them others you can damage the flywheel but majority are fine to just do FT.

    Y'all still refer to bolts by head size? it's an m10x1.25 bolt.

    then, if you can't find the torque setting, you can get an idea of how much torque to apply by looking it up.

    Do yourselves all a favour and buy some ARP jobbies and tighten those bad boys to the recommended.

    ARP flywheel bolts for toyota are the devil. they are more prone to snapping. just buy toyota genuine.
