Do you fit new flywheel bolts?

Post by peakrock » Sun Jul 06, 2025 9:28 am

I've got the engine and gearbox out of the Type 3 to fit a new clutch and fix a minor oil leak. The flywheel is off and last time I refitted it I used new bolts and washers as recommended. They're still nice and shiny but if course I should fit new ones although this is the only engine that I've ever used new bolts on. What do you do?

Also, what lubricant do you use on the outer clutch splines? I've seen this recommended on a Guzzi forum.

Also a builders pencil rubbing the "lead" graphite along the splines .
