Well, I only use GM TTY factory flywheel bolts.. in fact Centerforce says you can't use aftermarket bolts like ARP and such.
The GM bolts have a green sealer/locker on them already.. which is good since I wouldn't have thought to do it before I knew the holes went to oil.
The leak I pulled the engine to fix wasn't from the flywheel bolts.. it was from the back edge of the Canton pan.
Anyways, this was just and FYI to the LS engine fans out there. I suppose if you use aftermarket flywheel bolts then some locker or sealent would be a good idea.
