Clutch & Flywheel Replacement - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

IIRC, when I installed my Fidanza, the ARP PP bolts (long) came with a thread tap in the kit, specifically to provide more purchase into the aluminum FW.

I DID use RED Locktite on the 8 FW bolts, and I DID tap the Fidanza for the slightly longer ARP bolts, and I did put blue Locktite on the pressure plate bolts before torquing them down. That was 5 years ago, and so far so good.

Anywayz... relatively (if not actually longer) deeper purchase of the PP bolts in the aluminum Fidanza was in harmony with my sense of "good engineering practice". YMMV.
