1. WHERE CAN I BUY FIDANZA PRODUCTS? – Please refer to the distributor page of this website. There you will find that the most reputable performance parts dealers carry our products.

2. WHY DO YOU OFFER BOTH STEEL AND ALUMINUM FLYWHEELS? – Our steel flywheels are designed to be some the strongest flywheels on the market. They are designed to be used where extreme strength is the issue and not increased performance. Some examples of this would be in rock crawling vehicles and sand rails. Our aluminum flywheels are also very strong and will give a tremendous boost in performance without affecting driveability.

3. SHOULD I BALANCE MY NEW FLYWHEEL? – Since our product is CNC machined they are incredibly accurate. We do however recommend that you balance your new flywheel along with your new clutch pressure plate. This should be done by a reputable and competent machine shop.

4. WHAT TORQUE SHOULD I USE TO TIGHTEN MY NEW FLYWHEEL? – For both the clutch and flywheel mounting bolts you should follow the original manufacturers torque specs for your car. We do recommend using a small amount of semi-permanent Loctite on the flywheel mounting bolts. We also recommend replacing both sets of bolts. These can be gotten from your local dealer or from a company such as ARP Fasteners.

5. WHAT CLUTCH CAN I USE WITH MY NEW FIDANZA FLYWHEEL? – As long as the clutch will bolt to the factory flywheel and uses the factory step height it will fit on our flywheel. You can also use any type of disc material including but not limited to organic, Kevlar, metallic and even sintered iron. We also put multiple clutch patterns on many units. These are listed in our application guide in the footnotes section.

6. CAN MY FLYWHEEL CAUSE CLUTCH CHATTER? – Yes but it is only possible if the clutch has extreme heat damage due to excessive slipping of the clutch. The type of clutch disc material used causes most clutch chatter. The more abrasive and “grabby” the material the more chatter you will have.

7. WHY DON’T MY CRANK BOLTS LINE UP? - Most flywheels have at least one crank hole that is offset. It is important to turn the flywheel by hand on the crank until you get it positioned so that all the bolts will line up.

8. SHOULD MY FLYWHEEL BE TIGHT GOING ONTO THE CRANK? – Yes, this is by design. Your new flywheel is a performance item and designed to much tighter tolerances than the factory unit.

9. WHAT STEP HEIGHT IS MY NEW FIDANZA FLYWHEEL MADE WITH? – We design our flywheels using the factory step height. The only exception would be custom units or those intended for multi disc clutches.

10. CAN I RESURFACE MY NEW FLYWHEEL? – Yes, we do however recommend replacing the friction plate since the cost is very similar and you are then assured to retain all factory dimensions.

11. WHAT IS THE COST FOR A CUSTOM UNIT? – Most custom units can be done for $1000 to $1500. This includes design, machining and assembly.

12. WHAT SHOULD I SET MY NEW CAM GEARS TO? – We cannot tell you this. It is based on your engine and the modifications you make. Your driving style also must be taken into consideration. We recommend booking time on a chassis dyno and using it as your guideline for setting your new gears.
