Flywheel Bolts
I have finally got around to reinstalling my flywheel after a clutch problem ,,I had the face and edge machined then sent the Flywheel and clutch to get balanced all looks good,,,but I have found my bolt threads badly chewed ,out of 8 bolts I had from 2 engines I only have 2 nice ones that I can use ,,,those 2 screw into the flange on this engine nicely in all holes so this crank must be ok ,,,I did use my spare engine as a set up unit for my trans conversion and may have mixed and matched my bolts with a dodgy thread ,,,can I use store bought hi tensile bolts or should I find some good used bolts ,,? I only need 2 ,,,are repos available ?thanks from Rod

Re: Flywheel Bolts
I can't see why store bought bolt of grade 5 (proof load of 85,000 psi) or greater would not work.
