Flywheel Misalignment

Common causes of flywheel misalignment are:
^ Incorrect bolt tightening
^ Mounting the flywheel on a dirty crankshaft flange
^ Improper seating on the crankshaft flange shoulder
^ Heat warpage
^ Loose flywheel to crankshaft bolts

The flywheel should be replaced if warped or overheated. Do not machine the face of the flywheel to correct a warped or overheated condition.

Clean the crankshaft flange and its mating surface on the flywheel before assembling. Dirt and/or grease in this area could cause the flywheel to mix-align when installing.

Use new bolts when mounting flywheel and secure the bolts with Mopar Lock and Seal or equivalent. Tighten flywheel bolts to specified torque only. Over tightening can distort the flywheel causing run out.
