[vscom88]

Hi, Does any1 know how tight the flywheel bolts should be done up on a manual Commodore vs v6. im after the exact specifications if any1 knows it..

cheers

Tight with lock tight

[vscom88]

i had alot of vibration in my car, the flywheel bolts were loose. i would not be putting lock tight on flywheel bolts ever. if the bolts snap ur screwd .. im after specs in CI or NM so if you know it please share ..

In the Gregorys manual its got first stage= 18 - 22 NM.Then for the second stage another 47-53 degrees,(just past an eighth of a turn),or for series 2 manual an extra 80-90 degrees,(a quarter of a turn)

cheers mate. much appreciated thx

If I recall the above specs is for the 8 bolt setup. The 6 bolt setup uses larger bolts and are done up much tighter. The 8 bolt setup you have to be careful because the bolts do stretch and snap fairly easily. The 6 bolt on the other hand Im pretty sure you can use a rattle gun though I would still use a torque wrench lol

EDIT: Im a retard. This isnt the VN/P section . Also missed the title... dont ask.

ah alright thanks.. yes i have an 8 bolt setup and they're pretty small .. and for things like head bolts, flywheel bolts and major components like that i always like to do them up to manufactures specifications if you know what i mean ..

but cheers anyways guys

You should use new bolts every time.

^^^ I've gotten snapped off lock-tighted flywheel bolts out before.
You don't have to use 'extreme' loctite, just use blue (medium) or similar

[vscom88]

flywheel bolts have a certain torque setting for them. like i said id never use loctight on flywheel bolts. and why the hell would u use new bolts everytime? unless a bolt is screwd its fine. plus i put the flywheel back on to the according NM so yeaa..

this thread may as well be closed
thanks for your help fellas

and why the hell would u use new bolts everytime?

Because they are subjected to alot of heat and stress therefore become fatigued. Rule of the thumb is always use new bolts. I dont know about you but I dont want my feet being taken off by a flywheel. Yes they are capable of this. Think about it, a fair few kilos of mass (plus clutch) spinning at multiple thousand rpm. Just think of what the bolts go through on a hard launch! I would be making sure that thing is clamped down hard and secure. So in saying that I would also advise new bolts with a medium strength thread locker.

But thats just me.
