What exactly is the issue you are facing?

Sorry, so 3 of the bolts on my flywheel have broke right off, and the other three loosened off. The center of the flywheels a bit of an oval now. I'm wondering what may have caused this and if I was to put a new flywheel in do you think the same thing would happen? Would that have bent anything? The spindle on the tranny doesn't seem bent so that's good news

Yeah there's 3 bolts stuck inside that I'm going to need to use an ez out on or something... When I put the flywheel on some time ago I didn't torque the bolts to 100ftp I just tightened them a lot so I mean that could be my first problem haha. My main concern now is wether or not that could have bent the crank

And I havnt tried threading anything in there. I should have taken pictures before I left but I had to come back to work, was on my way up here and she went on me.
