    Stick the pilot bearing in your freezer for a couple of hours, set on a nice cold can of beer, take it out to the garage, and quickly install it. Works great!

    When torquing the flywheel bolts just stick a Phillips screwdriver through the flywheel and it will catch on the blocking plate where the starter goes

    Just a few notes for others that might be doing this on a late model 302: The flywheel bolts go into the crankcase, so make sure to use the thread lock as a sealer. Or as ARP does in their kit, use threadlock on the threads and a sealer under the bolt head. Second note: early model clutches use SAE hardware, late model stuff uses metric. And with metric you usually have three dowel pins in the flywheel for the clutch to sit on. Hammer or press the dowels into the flywheel before mounting the flywheel onto the crank.

    The flywheel size depends on your bell housing size , the 10.5 and up ( truck size, maybe bronco) won’t fit inside of a 83-93 z3-z6 bell ( maybe far back as 79-93) , I had to use the ten inch but157 t flywheel , and if so you’ll have to go a 3/4 starter or nose ( instead of the 3/8 if you can find one , power masters the only one I know of that has one for that t5 swap

    • @ThunderHead289
      @ThunderHead289  3 роки тому

      There are a few different types of clutch mounting hardware - there are units where the shoulder of the bolt locate the clutch. I never had any vibrations, it’s still in the truck today and did the full power tour 2019 3000 miles without issue.
      Put probably 30k on the truck since I put this engine together for it.

      @patw52pb1 7 років тому +2

      Every Ford is/was equipped from the factory with pressure plate dowel pins to precisely align and positively locate the pressure plate on center to reduce vibration, prevent fastener and clutch failures.
      They are also there to share the torque loading in shear.
      Usually Ford OEM and many aftermarket replacement flywheels do not come bundled with new dowel pins or fasteners, however they are available separately from Ford, Ford Performance and the aftermarket such as ARP or from a decent machine shop and are well worth the cost.
