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 face of flywheel to correct a warped or overheated condition. Clean crankshaft flange and its mating surface on flywheel before assembling. Dirt and/or grease in this area could cause flywheel to mix-align when installing.

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