well I took my clutch and flywheel off to do my rear main seal and I see this ----...


ALSO look at my flywheel and clutch and tell me if this is normal. I dont think it is... Its a 6 puck and 8lb aluminum flywheel from lsdmotorsports...



wtf? dO you think that broken housing could be the cause of my MASSIVE rear main seal oil leak? Should I replace this or what?

Wish I knew.

Another question guys...I cant find one of my pressure plate bolts. would it be ok for me to replace that one bolt with a regualr bolt from Ace hardware? I have heard they are weight matched or some ----...? any truth?

i dont see whats broken besides the rubber

they are weight matched and a diffrent bolt will throw your crank out of ballance.

hmm ok. would it be ok to just buy 9 of the same bolt from ace and use them instead?

I don't think so, even if you get all the same, in reality, they are made with bigger tolerances and are not exactly the same. I would not risk it, it might be a bitch to go to the dealer and get one, but it would be worth it.

That sucks, i always say I'm going to grab a bucket to put all the bolts in, and never do either and end up losing some, but nothing that critical.

Someone's going to come in and prove me wrong, but I think you should get OEM replacement bolts. Hardware store bolts are most likely not correct for that type of application. You need to have faith that they won't break.

i THINK B AND D SERIES PP BOLTS ARE THE same arent they? If so, I can use one that I have as a spare...if not, I have to ORDER one from honda

the hardware bolts are grade 8. they wont break.
