Capt: A) Will the bolt-on part have the LH threads?; B) Will you retain the key and keyway? ; C) Will the the final product have the bolt heads on the back of the flywheel center? Just having trouble visualizing rotational alignment of 'drilled nut' and fixed relative position of the threaded holes in the 'back plate / flywheel center' Looking forward to explanation of just how to accomplish this procedure. Good Luck.

The key is soft metal and will shear and has no use in our application. The sole purpose of it is in final assembly in the factory to install the flywheel at the correct otientation for timing. I still don't trust the LH threads. Maybe on this size engine but I wouldn't do it on anything bigger for sure Loctite or not it scares me.
