fidanza issues
well igotr the flywheel back fromthe balancing shop. fly wheel says it needs it but it didn't...burn 65.00. then i installed it no problem/ put clutch in and then pressure plate. finger tightened the bolts to make sure they where all good then sinched them down. i took the tq wrench at this point and set them to 25 #. manual says they need to go to 35 next. when i did this 2 of the 6 never would tighted. once i got them out the threads where on the bolt. is there a fix for this a i or am i going to be fighting with fidanza.
thanks

and don't understand the last line - spelling counts here
* Might have bad threads, may have to reverse tap them out to do the threads..... good luck..

If it's a new flywheel I'd definately go back to fidanza and get it replaced.
If that's not an option, try some helicoils.
I got a free fidanza from a friend who sold his car. I resurfaced it and installed it but one bolt hole was stripped. I used a helicoil in that hole and it's held fine under extreme conditions - my car is a track only 383...
BTW, did you use the shorter bolts for a camaro?
