Not to mention the countless water pump pulley and cv joint bolts you'll
manage to strip out over time ;)

The flywheel bolts are a good idea to replace; I'm not positive that
they're in the same 'always replace' category as the pressure plate bolts.
But I always replace them and put additional loctite on. I'd hate to have
a repeat of the one that backed out and carved up the case on my AGB.

Also, the 020 bolt kit. But how often are you going to take that off?
