Message	That in itself is interesting. I had an aluminum flywheel that a bolt stripped from. I put helicoil's (or time-serts, or keen-serts) in all the holes (just in case that small weight difference mattered for balance). Never felt any different than before removing it. I think most people will suggest replacing the flywheel as it is somewhat of a critical part, but I was in a time crunch at the moment, and helicoil threads are stronger than the aluminum threads it was replacing. ------------------------------------------------------------------ 1992 300ZX NA 5 Sp (Dead) 1990 300ZX NA Auto 2+2 (Dead) 1990 300ZX TT 5 Sp (Building) 2004 G35 Sport 6MT (DD)
