Tomorrow I'm installing my Mopar rebuilt 4.0L engine in in my 87xj. Do I need to use thread locking compound on the; 1)flex plate to crankshaft bolts 2)flex plate to torque-converter bolts 3)engine mount brackets to engine bolts?

Ask Hinkley and Rev, they are experts at locking threads!

Yes. LocTite 242 would probably be best.

I loaned my 87xj shop manual to a guy and I can't get hold of him. Off hand, anybody know the specified torque for the flex-plate to crankshaft bolts?
