Test Drive on SPEC Clutch Problem!!!

You are not reusing stock flywheel bolts, and then tightening them to 65ft/lbs are you? :aigo:

Stock flywheel bolts are supposed to be replaced like you would with head studs!

Ok, I didn't know that. I just haven't heard that anywhere, Considering the Haynes, Chiltons, and TSRM don't mention to replace them.

 

[bigaaron]

I don't know if it is something the manual would point out, but it's a good idea in practice. Especially when they already came loose once.

 

[chris89]

What if i just saved the money and put some Red thread lock on each bolt and torque them to 65 ft. lbs.?

 

[bigaaron]

It's your car and your decision to make. :dunno:

how much do a set of new flyhwheel bolts go for?
