Wr flywheel on aby

martinws · 18-06-11, 07:44 PM

I'm about to fit a wr flywheel and clutch to an aby. I think this is an obvious question but when I'm at TDC is the timing pin on flywheel infront of the crank sensor?

Cheers

No it is not....

The flywheel will only actually bolt o. In one position anyway so you can't get it in the wrong position.

Look for the 0 on the flywheel rim that will indicate TDC once the gearbox is fitted you can see half of it through the viewing window

As above, pick your clutch and power output carefully though....

That will be the day.haha. The mechanical side doesn't bother me, just the wiring.

That'll be good... we are running circa 300bhp on an uprated WR clutch with the AAN and I'm told that's about all it'll take + or - ... Certainly not had any problems so far, but I'm relatively gentle with it, although....

It does get a little abuse occasionally....

Just fitted timing belt with new pulleys, rear crank seal, pressed bearing into rear of crank and put on the flywheel. I see what you mean by all the holes only lining up in one position. Dinner then ill move onto the clutch.
