    Accidentally over torqued flywheel bolts. Am I OK?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I torqued the bolts to 60ft/lb + 180*, instead of the spec'd 60Nm (44ft/lb) + 180*.

    I know they are stretch bolts, and have seen a lot of people who use an air ratchet and don't pay attention to the torque value, so I am wondering if I am OK, or if I should back them out or what.

    I can't imagine that being a problem. As you said a lot of people just use an air impact and pay no attention

    If they were brand new bolts I'd say your fine. 20 ft lbs is not much after you do a 180*
    There are 10 kinds of people in this world, those who know binary and those who don't.

    Shitty. It is prob only an extra 1/16-1/8 turn.
    I bet it is fine, but I would prob have to change them so I could sleep.
    There are only 2 things needed to make an Audi work properly - Duct tape and WD40. If it moves and it shouldn't - Duct tape. If it doesn’t move and it should - WD40.

    They are brand new bolts.
    You can not remove a set of these bolts and reuse them.

    I spent $150 in flywheel bolts in 3 weeks because you can't reuse them. Damn RMS.

    I figured as such. But the new PP/FW/Clutch came with new ones, so I'll hang onto the old ones just in case

    So here's the golden question.

    How do you know that the bolts are still good? Are there signs that they have gone bad?

    Look for deformation in the threads.
