RE: Flywheels and clutchesStll the problem is not of strength but of the
bolt coming loose because of the frequency vibration and stretch.  That
is why lock tabs work better than Locktite in this application. BUT if
the bolt stretches, your dead in the water again.  I have looked at
flywheels that were really loose on the crank and the bolts were safety
wired and all still intact, BUT THEY WERE STICKING OUT OF THE FLYWHEEL
about 1/8" because of STRETCH. The bolt stretches, bends, then breaks or
even falls out.
