i was waiting for someone to post this.

would you say this is a benefical part to have on a high hp/high rpm honda?

i will be running the arp flywheel and pressure plate bolts as well

b18bturbo

I always ran stock and never had an issue. So i have no opinion on this but I know ARP makes very high quality bolts and studs etc.

Anyone ever had a problem with stock flywheel bolts or stock crank pulley bolts not being strong enough?

raene

Yeah, I shear those things ALL the time

Is it cheaper than stock? Just curious.

well i already bought the oem flywheel bolts, so i might just use them. i can get the pulley and stock bolt for 25. but the ar pressure plate bolts are like 15 bucks, probably more then what i would pay at honda.

I'm not sure that ARP's intention was to replace the factory flywheel/PP and crank Pulley bolt w/ stronger pieces but, to have them available because there is a market for them. I have been in need of Pressure plate bolts more than once.

Yes. It is the 19mm bolt that causes the threads you see everyone making like, "Crank pulley stuck on...HELP!!!!!!!!!!!"

what is that part number for the arp crank pulley bolt?

I had a problem with my stock flywheel bolts backing out. Then I replaced them with the arp units and have not had a problem out of them. I probably would have been ok with some new oem bolts, but since I need new ones I went with the arp bolts.

You did use some red loctite on those right.

At the risk of sounding like a moron...

I've never heard anything about using loctite on flywheel bolts. I've never done it and never seen anyone else do it either. I could only imagine trying to get them out next time w/o heating them up and risking warping the flywheel/destroying the rear main seal when doing so.

I use loctite on mine, ever had a flywheel bolt back out? If you have an impact wrench you dont need to worry about getting it off next time.

I was always taught to make sure you use red locktight on flywheel bolts to make sure they don't ever back out. Not sure what the honda manual says.
