Flywheel

Flywheel
Measure the flywheel (A) runout using a dial indicator (B) through at least two full turns with the engine installed. Push against the flywheel each time you turn it to take up the crankshaft thrust washer clearance. If the runout is more than the service limit, replace the flywheel, and recheck the runout. Resurfacing the flywheel is not recommended.





Install the flywheel on the crankshaft, and install the mounting bolts, finger-tight.

Install the special tool (A), then torque the flywheel mounting bolts (B) in a crisscross pattern in several steps.
