flywheel bolts

[ttrousdell]

Just wondering..are the flywheel bolts for my 5spd one time use only.

[Mossman]

yes they are stretch bolts and if you follow rules replace the bolts

The flywheel bolts aren't torque to yield types. If they were the tightening sequence would be an initial torque and turning the bolt through an angle. Best practice is to use new bolts, but they can be re-used. If reusing the bolts thread sealant must be used.

Yes there one time use. Don't be cheap. Get new bolts.

I have put together a LOT of motors and always reuse the flywheel bolts along with red loctite.

PS: That includes one of my personal cars which has had 25,000+ miles put on it alone.
