Im going to be installing my new stock pressure plate and Findanza aluminum flywheel. I have been reading about balancing the flywheel and PP before installing. Seeing as though the PP is stock do I just have to balance the flywheel or both together? Does anyone have any recommendations on shops to get this done. Im located in MA.

Also, what is the set screw on the outside of the flywheels? The stock has 2, I think, and the new Findanza only has one. Is this for the speed sensors. What height to I set them to and do I use lock tight to hold them in place?

thanks

The set screws are used for the reference and speed sensors. The screws must be installed and set to the proper height otherwise the car wouldn't start. I installed a Powerhaus lightened flywheel and KEP pressure plate without balancing - clutch feels vibration free. You should also inspect the clutch fork for wear.

 

Should I use red/blue locktight to hold the set screw in place?

 

Loctite 270 high strength is to be used on those studs. Install to a height of 5mm.

Just get the flywheel balanced.

The Fidenza flywheels have a bad reputation for being out of balance. Do yourself a favor and have it balanced. This is cheap insurance.

Do this and you'll be good-to-go.
