Flywheel bolts
I am having a bit of trouble, I have run a FoMoCo 4 speed for a few years but I got a new clutch plate and the Springs hit the flywheel bolts by about 0.5,
Is there any other low profile bolts that would work with a flathead? |

Re: Flywheel bolts
Sounds like you may have clutch disc in backwards. The springs go out towards gearbox.

Re: Flywheel bolts
I ran into a similar clearance issue with my new steel flywheel and aftermarket clutch. I was reluctant on grinding down flywheel bolts, so contacted ARP and bought bolts that have a reduced head height. Also removed the flathead flywheel locating dowel retainer that gained over .050". Just lightly stake the flywheel dowel holes to prevent any movement. Overall gain was over .100" that resulted in the extra spring clearance I needed.

Re: Flywheel bolts
I never run the lock wires, I just torque em up with loctite. Never yet had a flywheel come loose.

I had a flywheel come loose on a BMW and when it did it sheared off all 8 bolts anyway, funny thing is I was able to drive home and then I toched the throttle and the engine reved up so fast it clipped the valves on the piston and starter motor just turned the flywheel and not the engine. |

The ARP bolts I bought were #P10AP.750-1. ARP torque specs are: 70 ft.lbs with ARP moly. 75 ft/lbs with 242 Loctite. (what I used) 85 ft.lbs with 30W oil. Always follow ARP torque specs when using their bolts. The flywheel bolt holes required a very slight chamfer to ensure full bolt head contact, per ARP.
