Yesterday I re-installed my flywheel and clutch. I've not installed the motor to the tranny yet. It just occurred to me that I didn't re-install this little felt washer which I think goes on one side of the flywheel pilot bearing behind the crush washer. The silly thing is I even had a new felt washer sitting right there and neglected it. Under advisement of a trusted source, I installed the flywheel bolts with red loctite. So, in order to install this little felt washer now would be a big ordeal -- I'd have to heat / break the loctite bond and order yet another new crush washer.
The question is, is installation of this felt washer worth the trouble required to install it at this stage? Thanks for your advice, Dave |
