sirsprinter Posted December 25, 2008 Report Posted December 25, 2008 A combination of an uncalibrated tension wrench and/or, weak bolts and carelessness, has left me with a broken flywheel bolt for my smallport. We have managed to remove the broken bolt. Now what can i do? does anyone have any laying around? Particularly Adelaide? ASAP>? Should i ask for genuine toyota, or can i match the bolts at a motor traders. etc provioded they are high tensile steel and exact dimensions? Wreckers even? furthermore, should i replace just the one, or a whole set of 8, seeing as one broke, i don't want to take a risk with any others...if so, will a wrecker be fine or should i try source brand new? thanks guys Quote
sirsprinter Posted December 25, 2008 Author Report Posted December 25, 2008 has anyone heard of using 4x 4ac bolts and 4x 4ag bolts???? Quote
Trev Posted December 25, 2008 Report Posted December 25, 2008 has anyone heard of using 4x 4ac bolts and 4x 4ag bolts???? Yes it works. Quote
philbey Posted December 25, 2008 Report Posted December 25, 2008 Similar discussion was had by a few of us a couple of weeks back when I posted pics of stretched bolts off my 3k. In the end, I just went to Cornes Toyota on Belair road and bought 6x 4AG bolts for ~25 bucks. Replace the whole set. Quote

philbey Posted December 26, 2008 Report Posted December 26, 2008 nah, we decided they weren't , but the conclusion for me was that 4AG ones are cheap and easy to get hold of (and fit) Quote
TRD ke70 Posted December 26, 2008 Report Posted December 26, 2008 ARP use to make flywheel bolts for 4AGE and i saw some on ebay the other day, they may still make them. or you could use 7k flywheel bolts if it's for a K engine, better bolt, has a built-in flange and i would imagine they'd be stronger coming from a commercial engine.

philbey Posted December 29, 2008 Report Posted December 29, 2008 I chased the ARP items from Sprints and they apparently don't make them any more. Quote
love ke70 Posted December 29, 2008 Report Posted December 29, 2008 genuine make them. 5 bucks a bolt or something stupid usually. but its not much in the cost of a build so i did mine on the 1g. u can go to a bolt shop and try get a exact match, in an 8.8 grade or higher, but often they don't have exactly what you want, and id just go the genuine route.
