flywheel bolt pattern curious


Recommended Posts

Allright folks 

 

I was fitting my flywheel earlier and my heart sank as i first put it on as some of the bolt holes didn't line up,span it round till they did but why are they like this?

is there a tdc mark or something?

any extra strength in offset holes?

 

anyone else come across this or know why?

 

cheers

I think it's to do with offset weighting, the pressure plate only goes on in one orientation too. My old pressure plate went on in any orientation and of course it was wrong, the whole car shook like a shitting dog, the replacement brand new flywheel and clutch only went on in one way and no wobble
