Inspection After Flywheel Chamfering

Surface Finish

The surface of the inside edge of the flywheel after the chamfer is cut will likely be of lesser quality than the flywheel face. The chamfer may include slight signs of chatter marks. This is an acceptable finish since this chamfer is only intended to provide clearance for the clutch disc and not for a frictional surface finish.

Surface Regularity

The face of the chamfered surface may vary slightly in thickness. This is acceptable if the depth of the chamfer is within the 3-4 mm (0.12-0.16 in.) range as specified in the above procedure.





IMPORTANT:
During clutch installation, install flywheel on crankshaft and start bolts. Torque flywheel bolts in a criss-cross pattern as shown in the illustration below.

Torque: 80 Nm (59 ft-lbs)

NOTICE:
When tightening the clutch housing cover assembly bolts, do not tighten any one bolt more than a half turn at a time or the clutch housing cover assembly may warp.

Notes:

^ All contact surfaces of the lathe adapters, lathe arbor and flywheel must be clean and free of nicks and burrs.

^ Depth of cut can be aided by a dial indicator.
