If I move my clutch and flywheel to new motor do I need to do any machining or can I just install? Or should I get a new fw?

 

How many miles? Would recommend getting new flywheel bolts and a new TOB.

 

Get arp flywheel bolts as stockers arent reusable. Other than that youre good to go, ive had my flywheel/clutch on three engines.

 

The clutch was put on about a year ago and the tob is 3 months old. Don't think I need a new one. Will probably get the zzp spacer though .

 

I know I need new boots, didn't know apr made Em, I'm assuming those are reusable?

 

Do not use arp bolts in the 2.0 motors.

OEM only.

 

I have arp bolts on mine but its a 2.4. Arps site says theyre for a vauxhaul 2.0

 

The heads are too tall an contact the disc on most of them.
They can also be too long for other 2.0 flywheels.

Just don't on the 2.0.

 

ok I will go with the proper oem ones. it will be a while anyway, I need to make a shopping list of what I'm gonna need.

 

Tom I went with the ZZP flywheel that's now made in China. If I did it all over again I would have just dressed up my 40k mile German made flywheel and reinstalled it. Big machining difference between the 2 and after looking at the German one it really was still in good shape.

 

the question was so I even need to machine or get new one if I'm just swapping to new motor, not changing clutch or anything. clutch has lots left on it.

 

If you can find the specs on thickness when new it would help you to decide. If nothing else I would just inspect it, mic it and then install if the thickness isn't bad. Better have another good tob laying around just in case, along with replacing the flywheel bolts. I would also replace the little pressure plate bolts while you are it for good measure. Along with a new distribution block and maybe the clutch pipe so that little nipple on the end won't get you. That's cheap insurance, and rubber deteriorates.

 

ill proably get the pressure plate bolts, but the tob, and all the stuff on the trans is literally 2 months old. its a rebuilt 4.05 powell trans with all that stuff new, so I'm pretty sure its all good and will last a while. I may end up replacing it all anyway, but If I don't have to I wont. car will be down for quite a while anyway.

 

Do not machine your flywheel...

Why do all that if the clutch and flywheel were fine before? If you're going to do anything buy new clutch/flywheel if you're that worried. If you had no problems before with your clutch and flywheel I don't see what the difference would be on a new motor. The flywheel and clutch already wore to each other. Just touch any contacting parts with your hands.

 

What he said ^

And Only time you need to replace flywheel is if new clutch disc is being used. I would bet replacing flywheel without replacing disc would cause issues and wouldn't hold tq as well even after a lengthy break in.

 

Well I wasn't sure , that's all I needed to know. Can I spray with brake cleaner to get off dust or is that not recommended?

 

Compressed air to blow off the majority of dust. You can follow up with some denatured alcohol on a rag if you want.

 

Ok cool
