Frank, The flywheel needs to stay in the freezer for at least 8 hours. The ring gear needs to be at 400 degrees. In order to get it there you need to set the oven as high as it will go and let it cook for about half an hour.(for some reason even if you set the oven at 400 the flywheel does not reach that temp.) Make sure you get the ring gear on the right way (the teeth are tapered in one direction, you only get one shot at this). Lay it on the flywheel and tap it on with a brass hammer. I prefer to use an acetylene torch and a temperature crayon personally. but the oven has worked for me in the past. Regards, Peter. |
