Do any of you put threadlocker on any fasteners under the clutch cover? Pressure plate screws, primary nut, clutch boss nut?

Thanks.
Torque value for the pressure plate screws? Is that a 6mm bolt? I measured just under 5mm.  7ft\lbs or 85in\lbs?

242 is the most common for medium strength Loctite brand thread locker.

You should be using 243 for under the cover, medium strength just like the 242 but the 243 has improved oil tolerance.

Duly noted.  I'll check the label of what I used, but it's all sealed up and ready to add fluid after the sealant cures.  Hopefully it'll hold, whatever it is.
