Well I pulled the tranny and the clutch was fine as well as the pressure plate and bearing. BUT here is the problem.

SOOO can i use the old bolts and what could have caused this? I torqued them down to 81lbs. I did forget to use LOC-TITE but could that happen so quickly? only 200 miles? The crank bolt holes look ok not stripped or anything.

 

If the socket will tighten them, I'd say use some thread locker and give it another whirl.

 

I've never even used a torque wrench or Loc-Tite for flywheel bolts and I've never had any problems.

I probably juts jinxed myself.

i would get 2 new bolts and some loctite, and go again.

better safe than sorry.

^ I was just gonna say that.

 

great....
glad it`s nothing expensive.

def.ly use thread locker

 

thats what im going to do...BUT what could have caused it.. DR.Boost said he never had problems.

 

ive never seen that before

u probably got lazy and stopped screwing them in

 

yea, u might had forgot to tighten them

 

I suggest getting some thread locker. The marks look weird though, they don't look like straight grinding on top, can you see where it hit. Can you see any marks that hte bolts caused, cuz they hit something.
