Flywheel Loosened twice - 250 engine with T5 in 61 Comet. SBF BH with T5 adapter. 157T Neutral balance SFI Flywheel - Centerforce clutch.
Shortly after swapping a tranny few years back, the clutch felt odd and noisy. Removed to find ARP fasteners slightly loose and flywheel slightly loose. I thought I had a brain-fart when torqueing FW bolts . I re-applied red Loctite and torqued safely with no further problem.
Last year I replaced T5 with upgrade' drove it a few hundred miles since. Yesterday I pulled tranny after obvious rattle noise and - Flywheel was loose again. Sure I followed ARP / Loctite reccomends' .
Ordered a replacement Flywheel and new fasteners but am concerned with situation and will accept opinions ( 8) ) on FW's, fasteners and possible faults ...
thanks
stay safe
