440 Flywheel Mounting Bolts
« on: November 18, 2013 - 10:04:20 AM »
Are the flywheel mounting bolts just grade 8 bolts or are they a special one time use type bolt?  I guess my real question is can I re-use the ones I currently have?

Should be able to reuse the old ones unless there is an indication that they were loose at some point. If
they were loose you may see the sides of the bolts shiny or flattened threads. Of course you could probably get
a set of ARP's for fairly cheap if you wanted peace of mind.
If I cant fix it, it's broke
