[urq] Clutch for 20vt install?

[Eric J. Fluhr]

Yikes, thanks much Scott!     If you head thru Austin on one of your visit to Mr. Dupree, I'll buy the beers.

Do you know how I can tell if the flywheel is too deep?   I bought 2 and think they were among the first on 
the market.   I may have a true 3B flywheel in the shop;  if so, I will compare them.

I'll also magnet the flywheel pin to see if it is steel and not aluminum.

Regards,

  The answer is "it depends".  I was the first shop to actually try to fit the Fidanza Flywheel to a tq016 many years ago (late 90's).  The early Fidanza flywheels were not correctly machined for the 20vt motors.  Basically the depth of the flywheel was around 6-7mm too deep IIRC, which caused the clutch to not be able to fully engage.  I ended up making a jig on a press and determined that the thickness dimension of the FW was incorrect.  I might have the notes I made on was was required to make it fit.  Also found out at the time BTW, that on this particular early FW - Fidanza put the timing pin in the correct location, but it was an aluminum pin not steel.   

  Otherwise, you can use the 91 200tq FW and Clutch with an AAN/016 as a bolt-on.
