New crush washer for sure. Use the old one for test fit and save the new one for final assembly. I probably would use new bolts too but, I can't say for sure so maybe someone will chime in on that. I can't remember if Jake numbered those when he balanced everything. I know the bolts for the pressure plate are numbered so they go in the right holes in the flywheel. They are way out from the center of rotation so they would have a really big effect on balance. The flywheel bolts are much closer so they won't have as big an effect. Remember when you torque a bolt you are stretching it and that reduces the likelihood it will not back out. If bolts are retorqued they stretch and are more likely to back out. I really don't want the flywheel to come off.

ok, I pulled the engine, and checked with a dial indicator, and I'm at .005 (if I can read the thing right.. )
so that means the shims are in there right? I didn't put them in but Tom (who I bought the engine from, who had been running it) could have and I just didn't pay attention... |

yea, Tom emailed me and had left them on, he just removed the flywheel and sent it on down!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) it's better to be lucky than good, but it pays to double check!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)
btw, I used the method with the magnetic arm that was in the "how to rebuild your vw engine" book... I put the magnetic part on the fly, pulled the fly away from the case with a screwdriver, zeroed the dial to the case, whacked it with a hammer(with a board to soften the blow) and measured again... .0045 -.005 I did it 3 times to make sure... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) I couldn't believe I was that lucky! |
