Re: Spyder Project 2008

Alright, Here is the update that people are waiting for...
The flywheel was loose.
Why?
Well 2 bolts broke and 2 were loose.
Why?
On the crankshaft there is a piece in the middle for automatic cars, Well noone told me I have never even heard about this til today. So I left it in thinking it was part of the crankshaft. So the flywheel wasnt even seated on the crankshaft. So it acted like a spacer, and that is what snapped the bolts. Notice in the pics below the bolt have a section that looks nice, that was sitting inbetween the cank and the flywheel. the flywheel looked damaged but it was just chunks of the "ring" on the flywheel. Ground it down and now its all good!

I got the broken off bolt out! THANK GOD!!! So now all I have to do is get that "ring' out of the crankshaft and its all good.

Thank you to Chris and Kyle at MAP for helping me with my problem! I was all pissed until they told me I didnt need that "ring" on the crankshaft!
