Good heads up...thanks a million...currently building a 881/5 Suzuki Samurai 1.3 block and wanting a aluminum flywheel with a forged 1.3 Swift crankshaft... I was considering reusing the same flywheel bolts but thanks to your input I will go ahead and spend the extra five maybe 15-20 $30 for new bowls and blue Loctite

I went through the exact same thing on my car. After 2 attempts with the stock bolts backing out, I found some ARP bolts that were the same size and tried them. I've had them on the car for over a year with no issues and plenty of high RPM runs.

Great video. Thanks for posting.

Depends on a few things. Langth of bolts, how many bolts there are, how many times they have been used, grade of bolts, how rough you run the vehicle, ect... Using flywheel bolts for a second time is usually okay, but a third or fourth time reusing them, don't be surprised when they do fail. I'm currently replacing the leaking slave cylinder on my F-150 and will be reusing all the bolts from the flywheel and pressure plate, to the housing bolts. Of course next time I'll be replacing all the bolts as well.

bolts don't just stop working, you must have over torqued them or someone did so previously

You could reuse the arp flywheel bolts since they are not torque to yield

Torque to yield some vehicles are torque to spec

What was the part number on those bolts? I recently ordered some from tristate motorsports and the bolts they sent me say they are for and series, but they sent 2 extra bolts and on their site it's listed as fitting k series. I'm just curious as to what the part number for the bolts you bought were. Mine is 208-2801.

The mt dew gave your mind clarity and u finaly saw ! The real reason !

Great video. Thanks

What made you buy those bolts, as opposed to buying new oem bolts from the dealorship? And also how do you know they fit that exact flywheel etc?

Not necessarily true for all vehicles. My f250 has much longer flywheel bolts than this. Short bolts in this application is just poor design. You want long bolts with lots of stretch. These short bolts with fine threads are probably meant to be torque to yield, but other people reuse flywheel bolts without a problem.
