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, |

Yes flywheel will fit, you need to make sure you check the end play on the
crank and add or subtract shims as needed. Replace the crank seal, output felt and use new bolts for piece of mind. |
