Hey guys,
I'm tryng to get the Kennedy stage 2 915-9 setup attached to my 3.2 motor. The ring gear fits onto the pressure plate but I can't get it flush.. its like playing whack-a-mole. If I tap on one side, the other side comes up. The problem with this, is that the bolts that came with it will 'barely' thread if the ring gear is flush The intent is to allow the bolts to grab further once the plate gets compressed. (I guess). Any tricks to this? lube? |

Mine was a bit tough at first on my 3.0L so I started them with the ring all the way on each of the bolts and went around holding the ring out and threading the bolts just enough on to hold the threads. Then once they are all started I went around it two turns on each bolt keeping the ring held twoards the heads of the nuts. Eventualy it popped into place.
Good luck with yours! |

Jeff, I'm not sure I completely follow when you said 'started them with the rigng all the way on each of the bolts and went around holding the ring out'. Could you clarify that? Maybe I'm just not getting it.. When you did that, did you seperate the ring and plate to just get the thing down flush on the flywheel, then added the plate Thx! |
