Rear Safari Windows

Rear Safari Windows

This makes the rear window pop out like the front windows. There are two tabs that will have to be welded in and the rest of the kit screws in. We don't recommend you open... Click here for more information


Flywheel

Flywheel Seal

Flywheel Seal

This seal goes behind the flywheel. It should be replaced every time the flywheel is taken off. If your seal is leaking, take the flywheel off and pry the seal out. Now remove the shims and call a friend. Have your friend push and then pull the front pulley while you look at the rear main bearing. If the bearing is moving, a new seal will not solve your problem. The engine will have to be taken apart and the case will need to be machined. If it is not moving, then you will want to check your endplay before installing the new seal. See CRANKSHAFT ENDPLAY SHIMS for instructions on how to do this. Install the seal and make sure it's all the way in (about 1/16" past flush). If you do not have a flywheel seal installer, turn your old seal upside down and use it to drive the new one in using a hammer. Note: The endplay (amount the crank is allowed to move back and forth) is .003" to .005". This measurement is very important if you want the engine to last.

Flywheel

Flywheel

These flywheels have been reconditioned and are sold on an exchange basis. If your flywheel has a groove where the clutch rides, it's a good idea to replace it. Read CRANKSHAFT ENDPLAY SHIMS for important instructions on flywheel installation.

Flywheel Gland Nut

Flywheel Gland Nut

It's really a bolt, but that's what everybody calls it. This bolt holds the flywheel on. If you are using an old one make sure the needle bearings in the pilot bearing are still in the end and that it's not rusted. Note: This bolt should be put on with a torque wrench and not a breaker bar with someone jumping off the roof. Impact guns are out too! Torque the bolt to 250 ft. lb., anything less and it will come loose. Anything more and you run the risk of cracking the bolt and having the flywheel fall off.

8 Doweled Flywheel

8 Doweled Flywheel

If your are going to run a 69mm or a 78 mm counterweighted crank, then you will want to have your flywheel 8 doweled or get a flywheel has been 8 doweled. These flywheels have been resurfaced. They are sold on an exchange basis. It is very important the you check the endplay. For more info read Crankshaft Endplay Shims.

Lightened Flywheels

Lightened Flywheels

Lightened 12 lb. flywheels are great for getting off the line faster or for faster acceleration. They're not good if you do a lot of freeway driving. When picking out a flywheel, you'll need to decide what you're going to be doing with the car. If you're not sure which flywheel you'll need, give us a call and we'll help you with your decision. We've had major problem with new Brazilian flywheels and feel the chromoly ones are much better. Do not run a lightened flywheel on a Bus. Flywheels come 8 doweled.

Extra Length Flywheel Pins

Extra Length Flywheel Pins

Here are some flywheel pins that give you more contact surface on the flywheel. Most cranks and flywheels are 8mm unless someone has oversized them for some reason. It's important you make sure they don't stick out of the flywheel when it's installed.

Flywheel Dowel Pins

Flywheel Dowel Pins

These pins hold the flywheel in place on the crankshaft. Should the hole that these go into become ovaled, throw away the crank or flywheel, whichever one is ovaled. Attempts to fix them are risky, since it is difficult and expensive to make the surfaces flat and true.

8 Dowel Flywheel Gasket

8 Dowel Flywheel Gasket

This gasket is only used if you're having problems with your end play. Lets say you have three .010" flywheel shims and when you torque the flywheel the motor locks up. You'd use this gasket to give you more endplay.

Racing Flywheel Gland Nut

Racing Flywheel Gland Nut

This is a large thrust surfaced gland nut made out of chromoly. You do not use a washer with the 1105305CM. It's important to torque this bolt to 250 ft.lb. and make sure the endplay is set correctly.

Flywheel Seal Installer

Flywheel Seal Installer

If you're going to be putting more than one engine together, we highly recommend getting this seal installer. Set the flywheel seal in place, then tighten the bolt until it stops and you are done. Note: The seal sits farther than flush into the case.

Flywheel Lock

Flywheel Lock

This lock works on both the 6v and 12v flywheels. It's the right way to lock up the flywheel when setting the endplay or torquing it. Note: A screw driver wedged against one of the bottom studs does not work.
