I was wondering what you guys tighten a aftermarket flywheel to counterweight bolts to? I looked in the FSM and for the automatic driveplate it says 32-45ft lb. Should i just do that? And does it matter which way you put it on in terms of balance? Im installing a act prolite FYI.

 

i just did a fidanza and the fidanza instructions didn't specify, so i went with 45 ft lbs per the FSM

yes, the orientation matters, but if you check the counterweight you'll notice its notched and the hole is tapered. in other words, it will fit on the motor in only one specific orientation. that also governs which side faces the flywheel.

 

Yea thats what im going to do. I never took my counterweight off so was just talking about if it matters which way you bolt the flywheel to the counterweight? I know the clutch side but in terms of holes which way? Thanks

 

doesn't matter at all

flywheel is balanced after all

just put it on and be done
