Just did some calculatoring and the shear resistance is fark all better with the stronger bolts, it's the tensile strength that is much higher. I'll call Atomic tomorrow and see if they can help me out. Haha I've already fitted the flex plate but I reckon I need the dowels now that I've thought about it. I'd be pretty pissed if I had to pull it apart again in 2 weeks. Here's a pic anyway lol 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/95767-puffwagons-territory-adventures/page/129/#findComment-1715270 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll get it dowelled one way or the other cos ain't nobody got time for sheared bolts. Plus I think my luck ran out on bolt number 5 today Haha it's pretty tempting to run the tig around that inner circle there 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/95767-puffwagons-territory-adventures/page/129/#findComment-1715271 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have it sorted by next weekend, providing the weather is ok. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/95767-puffwagons-territory-adventures/page/129/#findComment-1715273 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JETURBO ...JD TUNING ADELAIDE... Gold Donating Members 23,708 Member For: 16y 11m 18d Gender: Male Location: Adelaide Posted 28/10/22 12:58 AM Share Posted 28/10/22 12:58 AM Anything over 600kw needs Dowel pins as a pretty standard rule due to that shear torque being generated Atomic sell the full Jig and dowels for like $150 but what the fark is with your flex plate and the massive amount of material you’ve ground off it from the rim ? That things balanced within a % new and yours is now way unbalanced which is amplifying everything on that mating point. Despite requiring a full spot faced flat surface on both the crank shaft and back of the flex plate any imperfections is seriously reducing the capacity big time. I’m not going to preach to the choir but how many times do you want to re visit that job…. I’d assume not again…. Do it once, do it correctly bro. Clean the threads, use the right amount of loctie, torque to spec, re check after 30min and ARP bolts every time as they’re without any doubt the best for what they are Here’s one I did on a Built engine last month YellaTerra flex plate with Atomic Dowel kit as the intensions are plus 600rwkw Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/95767-puffwagons-territory-adventures/page/129/#findComment-1715281 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must be press fit?
