When I bought the 730 the flywheel bolts were loose and came off with ease. My questions are: 1 Will the splines on the Crankshaft be noticeable if they are worn? Will they wear evenly? 2. The inside of the flywheels splines are slightly tapered. About the last 1/4-1/2in of the flywheel splines drop off. Are they made that way or is that my notice to get the taper-loc fix? The crankshaft and flywheel splines look very good and even except that last 1/4-1/2 of the flywheel. I'm going to follow others advise with the new grade 8 bolts and tourque it down properly first. Then I'll go from there. Basicly just worried about the flywheel being tapered on the inside. I know looks can be deceiving but the crank looks good. Thank's for all the good info I've received.

Don't torque the new bolts past 275lb ft. More torque will just crack the flywheel casting web. Some folk claim that using the Loc-Tite primer and then the toughest Loc-Tite goop will sometimes hold a flywheel for a while. [Reply]  [No Email]
