Must be missing something

Hoping someone can take a minute and explain to me how this flywheel is supposed to mount on my engine. Its one of those "guaranteed" to bolt right up things. But yet Im still stuck scratching my noggin. I did a quick search both here and google, but evidently Im the only one confused. Do I need some kind of counter weight? Missing an adapter? Even if I did manage to use 6 existing engine bolts , what is going to lock the crankshaft to the flywheel? Sad face..,..

You're missing the counterweight. Where did you get thr flywheel? Typically they're sold together

Hi Loki, thanks for chiming in, and thanks for the definitive answer. I kinda figured something was missing. Bought it from Xedy. You would think they would have mentioned the counterweight thing. At the very least as an upsell point.

It is recommended that you contact the manufacturer or seller directly for advice specific to your situation.
