This might help in terms of diagnosis: The first time my bolts backed out I had about 100 miles on the car (w/ little drag racing)......I had a bad rear motor mount however, and this allowed much of the torque to be transfered throughout the vehicle as the motor flopped around. When the bolts finally did back out, I replaced my bad mount w/ a Place Racing (which I have been happy with)---- With my new mount, and bolts re-torqued the flywheel bolts backed out in less than 5 miles. THe motor was very solid in the engine bay, and the car was running great...the only down side----the bolts backed out so quickly---Could the now stable motor transfer the extra torque where it is supposed to go---and hence the bolts back out quicker. This pattern leads me to believe that the flywheel can't handle the torque (can you belive that--not being able to handle the torque on a honda I am almost positive that the flywheel is the problem---for the money you pay for the damn thing---I think it is worth just sticking w/ stock....let me know what you guys think the next step should be...I am voting on going back to stock.....(or buying a mustang) <--all this tranny work must be driving me crazy!!!
