Hi Gents
.
4 bangers have a tendancy to loosen flywheels so, from day one with the
Pinto motor I have used 3 drive pins along with the 6 fasteners. 7/16-20
ARP flywheel bolts have been used pretty successfully. I have not had a
problem so far. (knock knock).
Flywheel fasteners typically utilize a deformation of the head to provide a
locking feature. Use of anything other than a bolt designed for this
purpose is not recommended. (And yeah I still use Loctite.) Actually I use
Loctite on all fasteners, even SS, to prevent any foreign substance (salt)
from entering the joint and reacting.
