That's my space there in the corner.
The other day my friend Michael were working on his grande and we discovered this:
double yikes. He also had a cracked subframe in two places...but we won't get into that. ha. Onwards and upwards. He's rebuilding and kitting his Grande. I have seen 3 Grande subframes fail...in similar fashion...I might suggest some reinforcements.
I on the other hand had my own flywheel problems as I have continued to put together the engine for my yellow ciao. For some reason I just couldn't get the flywheel to seat properly. At first I thought that I just wasn't aligning the key hole with the woodruff key...so I took the woodruff key out and it still didn't seat. And then I realized this:
The stock flywheels require a spacer to be placed on the shaft that are either metal or plastic.
And it seemed that the spacer I was using wouldn't allow the flywheel to go all the way down. Then I noticed this:
stock flywheel (never mind the broken parts)
Euro CDI flywheel. See the difference? Spacer built in to the flywheel. Thus I solved my problem.
