1. I should know the answer to this...but I don't.

Pulling my 1.8 FI motor which only has 300 miles on a new 6 spring clutch and resurfaced flywheel.

I have a 2ltr going in. Can I use the 1.8 flywheel (on the my 2ltr transplant as is (I know the clutches are the same)?

Wasn't too sure if the flywheels are balanced to the motor.

2. There is a coil thermostat that bolts on the underside of the motor near where the clutch cable wheel resides. Both of my engines, the coil cable has frayed and broken and the cable is just dangling. Where does the end of the cable suppose to connect to? I can find where it once connected. How necessary is this? If it is, can you just add a little cable and connect it to whereever?

Thanks,

Why would you mark the flywheel at 27 degrees? Don't you mean the fan? Has Gumby been sharing?

I typically mark the flywheel at TDC and at 180 degrees (for valve adjustment from under the car).
