third time breaking flywheel bolts HELP!!!!
i tired everywhere and they keep denying me because am not a company and i contacted arp and they havent called me back or anything
After curing where the adhesive hardens, the loctite can become very brittle. If there's any movement in the bond area, it'll break the loctite loose. It'll buy the fastener a little more time, but eventually it'll loosen.
I think we're just shocked at the price. Titanium bolts cost 10$ each. I personally would tell QSD to go fornicate themselves for trying to charge me 10$ for a standard grade 8 flanged hex bolt. But I understand your dilemma trying to find a replacement. I'll search some and see if anything comes up tonight.
I am not understanding your dilemma. ARP doesnt make a head bolt/stud kit for a Nissan VG30 engine. I called ARP with bolt lengths, thread pitch etc...and ordered the studs,12pt nuts,washers over the phone.
Getting ahold of flywheel bolts should be gravy in comparison.

i just called arp back since those people didn't feel like calling me back after four days... they said they got to start from bare metal and create a new bolt. to just tell you guys how much they going to charge is around 700 to 800 for a eight freaking bolts my kinda luck right ? am thinking of re threading and using one of the tranny bolt that is a 12mm what you guys think?????????
Is this with an aluminum flywheel? If so, try using a grade 8 or higher washer under the bolt as long as it doesn't cause the disc to come into contact with the bolt. The aluminum is too soft to get an accurate torque reading. That, topped off with the harmonics these engines make at high rpm will cause the bolt to back out over and over.
am not to sure i got the act street lite flywheel its been almost a year wuthout problems other breaking axles lol am also thinking of putting a lock washer with each bolt
