Default A simple job GONE wrong

My cousin and I have just finished replacing the leaky rear main seal for my D16Z6 I currently have in my hatch. I, also, decided to replace the stock clutch with an ACT HD-SS unit. Along with the clutch, I used a set of ARP flywheel and pressure plate bolts. At first, I didn't really understand why it came with (8) flywheel bolts instead of six. Three hours later, we bolt & torque everything up and cranked the car. A cluttering noise came from the engine, sounding like something was loose. Since I did not re-install the dust shield cover at the bottom, I was able to inspect the back of the flywheel. THE DAMN THING WAS A TAD LOOSE!!! Come to find out, the people I bought the bolts from sent me the wrong stuff. They sent me flywheel bolts for a B-series instead. Both the B & D series bolts are the same bolt patterns (M12 x 1.0) by the way. I'm so freakin tired and pissed right now....that I have to redo all this sh*t tomorrow morning. Word of advice, when you have any doubts, double check yourselves or else.

tech....

ARP flywheel bolts -- B series and D series are not the same even though they are the same bolt patterns. DOUBLE CHECK the items you buy because whomever sent them may not know the difference besides part #'s.
