Hope someone can help. I bought myself a lightened flywheel and counterweight.ive been told by a couple of people to torque the bolts that keep the flywheel attached to counterweight to 45 ft/ lbs. That seems a bit light to me. Any ideas ?

290-361 ft/lbs according to the engine workshop manual.

 

Thanks for your quick reply. The torque I s for the main nut that keeps the flywheel on the crank. The torque I'm after is for bolts that keep fly to counterweight

 

11.6 - 16.5 ft/lbs

 

Torque it with ur hand is good, add some locitite blue.

 

it's no wonder you shear bolts off

 

Are those specs wrong?

 

they are for the bolts he was inquiring about, like 25x+

 

I apologize in advance for being such a noob. So I've been thinking about getting a performance clutch and lightweight flywheel for drifting, but I see people talking about counterweight and I can't seem to find what that is/means. What is a counterweight, what does it connect to, what does it do, how do I know if I need one, etc. Any information will probably help.

I appreciate that paimon.soror. That link was really helpful. If anyone else has any extra insight, I would like to know please. And if you have a clutch and/or flywheel setup you would like to share, feel free!
