Flywheel install question: 7th hole.
Google search is broken for some reason...
There are 6 mounting bolts and one hole on both the crank rear and the flywheel. is the 7th supposed to line up? I keep reading its supposed to be asymetric but it appeared pretty symetric and rotatable when i was test fitting them.
Im also installing a mantic clutch + flywheel. the FSM keeps saying to clock the OEM FW the same during install, due to installed balance weights. Do I have to worry about balance weights if the mantic has zero adjustability?
Thanks!

Damn! ok, thanks. I had it clocked not lined up and I got 3 bolts in cleanly (to test fit the flywheel/bell to measure for release bearing engagement) so I just assumed the other 3 would too. I guess one of those other ones would not go in. I wouldve just checked again but it takes a lot of work to pull it off the stand, hang on the cherry picker and reline up the holes. Just trying to see if I have to worry about balancing the mantic clutch since the FSM states more than once "do not misalign the balance weights!!!!"
