Reusing ARP Flywheel bolts
neilp1 - 31/1/17 at 04:27 PM

Does anyone know how many times you can reuse ARP flywheel bolts??

Don't know about flywheel bolts but Guy Croft (he of Lancia/Fiat tuning fame) reckons ARP head bolts can be used three times.
HTH.

As are the head gaskets, that don't actually fit, unless you're prepared to put a shift in!!

from ARP's site:

quote:
Are ARP bolts and studs re-usable?

Yes. As long as the fasteners have been installed and torqued correctly, and show no visible signs of damage, they can be re-used. If they show any signs of thread galling or corrosion, they should be replaced. In the case of rod bolts, if any of them have taken a permanent set and have stretched by .001” or longer, you should replace them immediately. See page 29 in the catalog for more detailed information on this critical measurement.


and it does say to contact them for any other info / questions....

I sent them an email last week but they have not replied.

One thou on a rod bolt ain't much and you'd need to make sure you measured them before they were fitted so you knew what to compare the size to



I always get a bit twitchy with flywheel bolts, seen some of the damage that gets caused when it all goes pearshaped

Personally I never re-use flywheel bolts regardless of their manufacture, when the flywheel comes off so do your legs and I've grown quite fond of my legs and would not want to be without them. Thus new flywheel bolts seem a small price to pay.
