It idles on its now that's about it. I still can't go past 5500 rpm period no matter the situation unless its the first pull of the day
Aren't the tabs on that DM flywheel lockplate supposed to be bent in towards the bolts?
Isnt that what keeps the bolts from loosening?
Sounds like it makes since. Wonder why no one ever did it at any of the shops my motor went to lol. Oh well they were still nice and tight last time i did my Trans.
Next time ill be sure to address that

Your answer is stated in that picture. Deep inside the obvious.supraguy@aol;1937726 said:

Well, I'm sorry Steven.
Ive' been staring at the pic, as deep in to the obvious as i can, but my eyes aren't what they used to be.
I don't have any experience with using a lock plate. Maybe you could help a brotha out ?

tyvm for being enigmatic... that works when people have missed something important.. lol. But you did it very well!
I stared and my eyes hurt.. but cool. I still don't think the tabs will stop them from spinning and I believe Albert's response (above yours).
Lock ring will only work with a hex bolt. That have flat edges which will allow the lock ring to engage on something. Arps have the round face, on top of being 12pt. Nothing to lock down on.

Ya know how your sure your right and then someone makes a statement that makes you question yourself?

And I know Alberts right cause I was the one that told him that. Your actually suppose to use thread sealant since the holes are into the oil galley. But I recommended lock tite with a full bead around the bolt instead of a drop since he had some loosen in the past.
So...
I was right? The tabs are to be pressed against the sides of the bolts?
But they weren't in this case, because arp's were used?(the deep obvious)
So, why is there a locking plate on the flywheel in this case?
I ask, because i was thinking of buying one, but I'm using arp's also, and additionally,
I've seen oem pieces that are called lock plates, but they are tab-less rings.
I was wondering if there was some lockwasher-type friction effect that these offered or something...

I just went through your thread and I must say that we have 3 things in common:
- Own a Supra
- Plagued with bad luck (or Milady Buzz Killington as a man put it)
- Not giving up on the car
Granted those events happened with my Tercel but shit, I feel for you. Keep it up mang, more motivation to get my shift my focus from the Tercel to the Supra. You'll forget about your luck once the wastegate opens, trust me.
