Default Installing Torque Converter to Flex Plate

When installing the bolts that attach the torque converter to the flex plate, what is the torque specs on those bolts and should I use red thread lock?

Default RE: Installing Torque Converter to Flex Plate

torque specs are TIGHT..lol. I could break mine free with a 1/4 inch drive ratchet, so it couldnt be too tight. Get a lon handle 1/4in ratchet and tighten the nuts down really snug and put some lock tite on there. You should be fine. That how I do all my trans installs...
