Hi,
I have been having an issue with the flywheel becoming loose repeatedly. The runout is about 25 thou which I think is contributing to this. Its really quick to remove the gearbox and put it back in but a right pain to actually get the engine out and I don;t have the time before I need the car at the end of Jan for VSCC events. Is it possible to correct runout by filing the taper in the flywheel or would i have to get the engine out and remove sump etc to lock the crankshaft and then use grinding paste? If the later then would it really be so bad if I just do it up to about 150ft/lb and accept I'll have to tighten it every so often?
