The car was flat bedded to Series 9 with a "rod knock".
Turned out to be a flywheel knock. Make sure things are torqued up and it doesn't hurt to use some thread locker. Those 5 bolts cost this engine its bottom end. Here are the pictures. Attached thumbnail(s) |

Ouch. Loctite probably wouldn't save an improperly installed flywheel, in my opinion. So to me it's not really insurance at all. Tack welding the bolts to the flywheel would also keep them from backing out.... OR people can just make sure they do the job right. Clean the end of the crank and clean the recess in the flywheel. Torque the bolts with a torque wrench and a flywheel lock. Use a new locking plate every time and new bolts if in doubt.
And I'd cuss a fit if I fought all day to remove flywheel bolts that were Loctite'd in. Just seems like a whole lotta band-aid to me. But like you said, I don't care if you use it or not. |
