NitroTherapist -> Flywheel Help (5/10/2008 3:21:48 PM) My flywheel doesn't grip the collet it just keeps slipping. I tried heating it up and making it bigger with some needle-nose pliers but that didnt work. Can I use super glue or thread lock to fix this problem???

snowbl!nd -> RE: Flywheel Help (5/10/2008 3:26:22 PM) You may need a slightly different shaped collet - if it's not shaped exactly to fit the flywheel it won't grip. I doubt supergule or threadlock would be a permanent solution, but it's worth a try at least.

NitroTherapist -> RE: Flywheel Help (5/10/2008 3:33:03 PM) But its weird its the collet that came with the flywheel

snowbl!nd -> RE: Flywheel Help (5/10/2008 3:37:35 PM) Odd... What type of crankshaft it it? If it's not threaded all the way along sometimes the retaining nut will run out of thread before it can apply enough pressure on the flywheel to hold it securely onto the collet.

hrdcoreglf -> RE: Flywheel Help (5/10/2008 5:48:25 PM) Is it a new collet and flywheel? Collets do wear out as well as flywheels. When you slide the collet on the crankshaft does it easily drop to the bearing or do you have to open it a little to get a snug fit against the front bearing?

NitroTherapist -> RE: Flywheel Help (5/10/2008 7:40:49 PM) no im doing an engine swap from 15fe to an 18cv-rx and im using the the collet and flywheel from the 15fe. and yea the collet slides on pretty easily.

AiRevo -> RE: Flywheel Help (5/10/2008 9:30:29 PM) I'd just get a new collet and flywheel...

NitroTherapist -> RE: Flywheel Help (5/11/2008 2:01:48 PM) Does HPI's lightweight vented Flywheel make a big difference in performance or should i get the stock one???
