Does oen come with the engine, and is it better to use that or the car manufacturer's? Also the screw that goes in the end of the shaft -is that a car manufacturer part or an engine part?
Thanks
I believe most engines come with a collet, it may or may not fit the flywheel to your car's clutch. To save money, I use the same clutch on 2 different engines, with 2 diffent flywheels already tightened down with a flywheel nut. All that is left is to transfer the clutch assembly and check gaps and enplay. Your clutch may require shim behind the collet as well, just make sure they match.
