Flywheel: Testing and Inspection
FLYWHEEL
Common flywheel problems:
-
Incorrect bolt tightening
-
Mounting flywheel on dirty crankshaft flange
-
Improper seating on crankshaft flange shoulder
-
Heat warped
-
Loose flywheel bolts
The flywheel should be replaced if warped or overheated. Do not machine flywheel to correct a warped or overheated condition.
Clean crankshaft flange and its mating surface on the flywheel before assembling. Dirt in this area could cause the flywheel to mis-align when installing.
Apply Mopar Lock AND Seal or equivalent to new flywheel bolts. Tighten flywheel bolts to specified torque. Over tightening bolts can distort flywheel.
