If I remember correctly, Helm's tells you to put Loctite on the flywheel bolts before torquing them down. You don't want those things coming out...

Oh, my bad, I thought you meant the flywheel bolts that go into the crank. I would just torque the pressure plate bolts to spec unless the flywheel manufacturer specifies using anti-sieze compound.

Do you happen to know who makes your flywheel? I found some documentation for Fidanza aluminum flywheels, which are pretty widely used if you want to use them as a point of reference:
