ORIGINAL: NAvE .Creations.

be sure to tighten them in a cris-cros pattern. if you tighten down one side all the way then just goto the next bolt and the next bolt you will not have the same pressure on all bolts and will not tighten down collectly. also red locktite is stronger then blue if i am correct.

I disagree about the criss cross pattern.
I just put all my bolts in finger tight, then tighten them from front to back, then I do the ones that need a wrench because the socket wont fir.
