What RPM do you rev to. Have you over-revved much , say into the 7k region have you checker the harmonic balancer bolt. It may have loosened with the out of balance Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/92641-not-qik-fg-xr6t-manual-ute/page/6/#findComment-1625481 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I removed the bolts today so I'll be able to get another photo tonight if you want. The clutch has been in the car for 2000km, and we rev it up near 7000rpm, so it's under a bit of stress. I was going to refit the flywheel with new bolts and dowels, The surface of the crank is still flat and the damage appears worse than it looks to me.

The pitting looks much worse in the photo with the flash than what it is, it is minimal in most areas so there is still plenty of face for the wheel to mount against.

If its not followed, loctite gets in between the crank and flywheel and that is exactly what can happen. With that much damage the chances of it coming loose again are high This was barely serviceable. and had SFA damage. Bolts came loose and fatigued.
