fidanza flywheel bolts, and ACT tob question? Options

[xian 1g]

I recently purchased a fidanza flywheel. I noticed on FP that they sell an aftermarket flywheel bolts kit with a claim that the stock bolts are too short and without longer bolts the flywheel will come off.


this is the first i've heard of this????? should I get them? or does with a aftermarket flywheel use the stock bolts without problems?


my second questoin is that i've heard a lot of problems with acdt 2600 tob. I purhcased a brand new act 2600, should aI get a different tob?

thanks in advance.

I still have the stock pulley with the harmonic balancer. I had the bottom end balanced by good ole Ken Kalina, if that's any indication of how much I should trust how exact it is.

LOL! True.

Remember that whole fiasco with Garner's crank. Well he brought the whole engine to Ken and he looked at it, replaced the bearing, put it all back together and said there wasn't anything wrong. LOL! More like he fucked up and didn't grind the crank down right so he's covering his pooper by saying he didn't find anything wrong. But I guess the 3 sets of bearings Garner tried could have been ALL to thin and cause the oil clearance to be .003" on the rods. NOT! What a joke.
