they came loose not long after i put my a15 in.

i tightend the #### out of them.

last night they come loose again.

the bolt holes in the flywheel are now 0 instead of o.

i have another fly wheel to put on once i get it refaced and balanced. is it worth getting it lightened while at the balancing place?

why has it come loose? are you suposed to use loctite?

the engine is stock with 32/36 webber and extractors into 2 inch system.

i wouldnt think it would be making flywheels come loose!

a lot of questions i know.
but i need the advice.

cheers, nate

im not sure, but i think if you overtightened them then they would come lose over and over without thred locker like loctite. what holds the bolts in place is when they stretch from being tightened. if they have been overtightned then they might lose their ability to grip the threads. this could be your problem, in which case just replace the bolts and use loctite red.

Tighten them to manufactures specs & you wont have a problem. If it happens again dowel the crank & fly wheel
