Hi all. I am wondering if there is a backyard method of checking flywheel runout. I have just installed my 168 tooth flywheel into my '54 motor and do not have the necessary tools to accomplish this task. Can I get away with installing the flywheel and torqueing the bolts??? Thanks.

There's no real need to check runout. Just reassemble and torque the bolts. I like to run the pressure plate bolts down gradually, not all at once, to prevent distorting the plate and disc.

Cool & thanks. Should the flywheel be turned for "trueness"?

You should have the flywheel "turned" when you install a new clutch disk and pressure plate... otherwise you might get that grabby feeling.


Another quality post.
