Re: my ride vt ecotec

Re: my ride vt ecotec
sure there is, just seat the dowels slightly below the surface where the bolt heads go and its all good.

Re: my ride vt ecotec
So you recon theres enough meat there to go up to 10mm vlad?

Re: my ride vt ecotec
Otherwise i might machine the dowels down at work to the right size

Re: my ride vt ecotec
I did a how to thread on fitting the dowels. I have a different opinion though on size of the dowels required. If they are a tight fit into the crankshaft & snug fit in to flywheel I believe 8mm to be plenty. The purpose of the dowel is to stop movement of the flywheel back & forth, which helps loosen the flywheel bolts & leads to broken bolts.vt3.8lt wrote:ok cool thanks for the help guys looks like im gonna sorce some 10mm dowels and drill out the crank and flywheel to suit i just home theres going top be enough meat left on everything once there drilled out as everything is quiet close together

immortality we also used to use the taper pins for alignments, brings back memories of the apprenticeship days.

I reckon any weakening of the bolt holes from the dowel will be offset by the dowels themselves.
I reckon you also could offset drill them so they are inward of the bolt holes which will help with meat around the bolts.

No matter what the question is, the answer is always more horsepower!

Re: my ride vt ecotec
thats a good point the indexing holes in the crank are like that and are 10.3 and 11.4mm diameters.
