[Fot] TR4 ARP Flywheel Bolts Question

[Bill Babcock]

Not only do they need to be hard, they also need a bevel on the inside edge of the hole, and you need to make sure the bevel faces the bolt head.

We didn't use washers with those - if you DO use a washer you want something hardened.  Having the washer yield because it's soft is a bad thing.
