Ok, since I received only one reply on the tech chat I decided to put it here to get more input. Does anyone know where can I get new flywheel bolts for the duratec besides the dealer? or at least, does anyone know the thread/size etc? Pics will be helpful too![wiggle]

You can call mike and get the thread size from him or maybe your local Ford dealer. Then you can see if arp sells them if thats what you want. I called the dealer here and asked them about a bolt I needed for my oil cooler and they told me the thread size.

i'm pretty sure massive sells ARP ones...i swear i've seen them somewhere

Massive only has flywheel bolts for the zetec, I guess I'll call the dealer tomorrow to find out

2.0l or 2.3l? ARP makes a set for the 2.0l apparently: http://www.arp-bolts.com/Catalog/Catalog.PP/2005Catalog062.html

Did you ask FocusSport?

I used ARP/Cosworth for mine.

Both the zetec and the duratecs have MTX-75s, so I would think that the bolts would be the same for both the zetec and duratec.

Flywheels are not shared between the two though. Even then, the MTX75 bellhousing is different as I recall.

sporadic found that there is even a difference between the 2.3 and 2.0 flywheel bolts... i would just use OEM... nothing usually goes wrong with OEM stuff.

Yeah I wanna say it is a length difference. I used a 2.3 flywheel from spec and the cossie 2.3 bolts (made by ARP) and it worked together.

It was just a thought....but good to know.

Well, there's no way I'm paying almost 100 bucks for stock bolts. I might sound like a cheap bastard but I think that $14 + tax for a bolt is a robbery. ARP says that their bolts will fit 1996 to 2000 duratec engines, so I guess they are not meant for our duratec. There must be a way around this, I'll have to figure it out myself (as always) since all your posts are useless...... j/k lol

You can try to get a hold of Mike and see what he can do for you.
