own by lack of thread locker.

Thread locker is theo-rectally not needed.

There was some discussion of flywheels being provided with coated fasteners, when stock uncoated should be retained. The coatings apparently skew torque procedure/readings. I couldn't get a straightforward answer as to whether that was what had happened or not, and promptly lost interest.

LMAO

yeah i dunno about aluminum FW's, theres a ton of peope that have success with them but it still rock a chromoly unit from ACT. its a bargain at just over 200 bux for the 8 or 10 lb version

I have both, 7LBS al and a 10lbs chromoly one and never had any problems with either. It doesn't say to not use thread locker but it's just a lil safety precaution and just safer knowing that it's there.

ive heard that chromemoly units get soo thin in areas that they warp the easiest of all of them. I love my 8lb aasco unit, with replaceable friction surface

i got the 7.5 lb fidanaza aluminum flywheel, not installed yet tho :P is chromoly better material then aluminum for our flywheels?

Well aluminum gets weak with heat

not only from loose bolts, but probably because the bolts were re-used.

i dont know baout hondas, but many cars use stretch bolts for things like this, and you dont reuse them for these reasons.

jinxy

ha, ive broken allot of bolts like that guess i shouldent use the 800ft/lb

I have a Fidanza Aluminum flywheel for my B18C for about a year w/turbo and I don't have that problem. I have never torqued down flywheel bolts to spec. I have seen them come loose on other cars at spec torque. As for torquing them down, AbaZ said it best.
