When I got my aluminum flywheel, several weeks ago, I made some measurements and concluded the aluminum flywheel was signifigantly thicker than the old iron one. I sprayed the old iron flywheel down, wrapped it up and put it away. Since then I have searched for collars, to use the 3/8" flywheel bolts in the aluminum flywheel drilled for 7/8" bolts, and flywheels bolts I had decided had to be 1/8" longer than stock to make up for the thicker flywheel. I went out to screw the flywheel on today. I unwrapped the the old fly wheel,made some measurements to see if I had the right length AN8 bolts and discovered the iron flywheel had the same dimensions as the aluminum flywheel. At this point I thought I had gone round the bend. The AN8 bolts were a bit over one inch, the old bolts were one inch, The Bentley manual called for one inch bolts and the ARP bolts I had just bought, for this application, were 7/8". To add more confusion the crankshaft is drilled and tapped 7/8" deep. So how much thread length should enter the crank when bolting on a flywheel?
