hey guys. well today my starter bolts backed out far enough for it to skip off and not start the car...just got grinding like mad. anyway, the starter is fine and it did a little damage to my flywheel - but nothing major, just some nicks. anyway, before I put the starter back on, what do you guys do to make sure the bolts don't back out? all I have with me right now is some "permatex high temp thread sealant." would this stuff work? or should I just tighten them, and then tighten them again in a few days (like a lot of people do with header bolts)? I just got home so everything is hot as hell and I already burnt my palm, so I'm gonna wait for everything to cool down to put it back on. unfortunately I can't go to the store to get some loc-tite cause I have no car atm.
by the way, which way do you guys fish the top bolt in/out? I just did it with a universal and an extension from the bottom thru the a-arm, but it was a PITA...couldn't turn the wrench very far. thanks guys
