Per the Volvo service manual of a 2006 D16 Volvo VT880, the flywheel bolts should be torqued to 44ft +- ft/lb and then another 120 +- 10 degrees. I am only able to make it to about 60 degrees after applying the 44ft/lbs of torque.
Is this fine? Am I to apply blue loctite to these bolts as well?
Cannot tighten flywheel bolts anymore

You using new bolts ?
Or reusing the old bolts ?
Do the specs call for new bolts ?
Alot of the later model stuff requires new bolts because the old ones are designed to stretch . -
Not to be a smart### but if it says 120 degrees, I'd make sure its 120 degrees. If 60 degrees were fine, the manual would have said 60.

What is a torque-to-yield bolt? It is a one-time-use fastener that is designed to stretch during the torquing process (installation). Because of this stretching, the integrity of the bolt is compromised. These bolts cannot and should not be reused due to the stress caused to the bolt during its first installation.Feb 12, 2020
