Savage x SS Flywheel help

[divi123]

Hi, I'm building my Savage SS from the kit, it has been a great experience but i feel I'm stuck at this point.
I'm at the clutch installation point, and i need to install the flywheel and the clutch, the thing is i am not able to push the flywheel all the way up and no matter how hard I'm tryng it is not going up, I'm attaching some pictures please let me know will it tighten more or this is enough, i have a savage x 4.6 i compared and saw that there was no gap between the engine and the flywheel in it, so I'm a bit worried..

also please advice me how i can push it all the way forward to the engine.
thanks in advance

Looks normal to me. It does not have to be all the way up against the engine. It is riding on the conical so that is as far as it will go. I would not worry about it. Nice a clean... remeber it like that....will never be that clean again...lol

 

[divi123]

thanks a lot, i will try and setup my clutch now... thats a relief

 

[frickenjoey]

Yeah I know, late at night a LOT of things can not look right. i have done it many times myself.

Looks good to go, as long as your shims fit and clutch bell spins freely should be good.

DON'T run it! Keep it nice and clean.

DON'T run it! Keep it nice and clean.

And be sure to put a good coat of wax on it!

I had to put vice grpis on the fly wheel and just a small socket and wrench to tighten mine down just a little bit more, because when i tried to tighted down my clutch bell it wouldnt spin freely when the screw was tightened all the way.

That works, I use a piston stop tool to install my flywheel's.

I use a towel wrapped around it and a big set of pliers to hold it while i tighten the nut.

IMO, that's the worse tool ever invented. But thats just me.:

i agree with snook makes flywheel removal easy and what knot but not good for your connecting rod in any kinda way thats not what the rod is disigned to be used for

You guys need to invest 12 bux in a flywheel wrench

 

[Borkhart]

Eh vice grips with a rag

Yah prob will invest in a flywheel tool. Never had problems with the piston stopper though. Maybe just been lucky, all these years.

 

[Greywolf74]

You can use the piston stopper but it can be hard on your con rod.

Remove the glow plug and fill the cylinder with oil. Replace the plug with an old or burned out one.
It's hydro locked so you can loosen or tighten. Drain the oil and put the good plug back in.

Yah I have also done that before.
