well

after all my stuffing around and damaged knuckles i cant get the fly wheel off - i am borrowing a firends impact driver air gun, but i still am stuck on locking the fly wheel - can anyone pm some help something visual if possible

thanks in advance

Where are you?

Locking the flywheel? Do you mean to hold the flywheel while you undo the bolts? I use $40 electric rattle gun (Dicksmith, Jaycar, Supercheap) to undo the bolts. If I don't have a rattle gun, I use a large screw driver on the wheel teeth, braced so it doesn't move.

yeah thats what i am doing but keeps slipping - but i have a rattle gun coming this arvo hopefuly works -

i am more worried about doing it up (dont they need to be done up evenly 150nm)? guess that is the main time i need it to be locked - guess ill keep trying to lock it with different ways

When you do them up, put a socket on the crank bolt and brace against the body. Just do them up like a wheel, it's not super important like head work.

Yes the ol socket on the harmonic balance locks it good.

And yes use a torque wrench to do it up properly, its real tight and you know you got it with the torque wrench.

If it comes off it can cut your legs off, so dont fk around.

Ps, i never got a flywheel off without a rattle gun.

I AM WEAK LOL

No no no, its impossible without real good leverage while your jammed under there and can hardly move your arms let alone get a good strong push/pull.

Eiji is just very persistant, and had a very long breaker.

Dont forget to be super clean with the clutch, or it may slip.

Anyway, the hard bit is getting the box back on, that will test your patience. So be careful with the input shaft, its easy to bash it into the clutch plate or springs while trying to get it into position.

Doing the clutch up evenly takes ages too. But worth it.

Good luck, hope it goes smoothly.

YEAH NPC told me to use some thinners or break cleaner on the clutch and or fly wheel surface to be clean as possible and clean the shaft and put very little amount of grease on the shaft..

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
