My machinist drilled 4 more bolt holes and put in 8 Chevy small block
flywheel shoulder bolts. In 2 years I haven't had any problems but just when
I say that...

Subject: [FOT] TR6 flywheel bolts
Dear FOT,
I had the unfortunate problem of having my aluminum flywheel bolt heads
worked off by the infamous TR6 crank harmonics at the BRIC last
weekend. Tried to drill out the bolts for four hours but working in the
toe box at 97 degrees was too much to overcome ( as well as the hard
steel). So my question now is what is the recommended fix for this
problem? I was using ARP socket head cap screws but only with the four
bolt holes and one pin configuration. Kas' book describes the problem
but doesn't give a detailed solution for the TR6 flywheel. I'm assuming
that I should add perhaps two additional bolts and an additional pin.
Am I close? Thanks for any help.
Allen
