I could really use the crank bolts and pressure plate bolts torque specs for a Fidanza flywheel part#191161. The wheel came with an instruction sheet but the actual part # for my flywheel was not on the section about torque. The flywheel is for a D16z6 and I am dropping it in tonight. This is the only thing I am not sure about as of right now. thx peace.

 

Torque specs are the same as stock.

Flywheel --> Crank - 87 ft/lbs
PP --> Flywheel - 19 ft/lbs

 

I was just under the impression that aluminum flywheel's had to be torqued higher than steel flywheel because of the expansion factor, but i will take your word for it.
thx man

 

lolz for your information aluminum is a great dispenser of heat...so they dont expand and contract as much as you would think... plus its much softer metal so if anything the torque would be less... believe me ive gone to school they teach you all of this...

Let me show you something about learning son.

from the Fidanza Aluminum Flywheel Instructions <U>and I quote</U>.

"Aluminum expands at twice the rate of steel so that in order to retain a tight fit when the engine and flywheel gets hot - the aluminum flywheel has to go on tighter at ambient tempetures for a proper tight fit at running tempatures."

I am still not certain and would like to listen to anyone with an answer to my question concerning aluminum vs. steel flywheels.

Why would Fidanza have this in their instructions if the flywheel only needs spec torque (87ft/lbs)?

we have the motor in and are still waiting for one part but I am still uncertain about the torque specs as in my last post.^^^

hit me back plz. thx peace.
