       I called LocTite about that a few years ago.  They said that number 
270 was no longer available.  They said to use Red LocTite #271.  I wrote a 
note on my 85 Spider shop manual page 01-14.
       For what it is worth, the flywheel bolts in both my 82 street racer 
and my 84 race car are safety wired.  I will not take time to explain it all 
in full, but I suggest you do not paint the flywheel surface where it mates 
with the crankshaft.
