Flywheel Question
Holy smoke! The engine is ready to go back into the car. Kind of unbelieveable.
This raises the old question of my flywheel. Some may remember that the block ended up being 2 bolt block and that the previous owner did some weird thing with spacers between the block and the bellhousing. Initally, I thought the flywheel was the problem that caused the previous owner to use spacers between the bellhousing and the block, however, the flywheel is in fact a dual mass FW, so it fit the vettes bellhousing spacing set up. The clutch is a new Valeo unit.
Three questions:
1. Did any of the dual mass flywheels vary in thickness?
2. I seem to remember that the single mass/f-body flywheel was .090" thicker that the dual mass, correct?
3. Any other spacing issues between the block and bellhousing?
Thanks.
