I bought a clutch/flywheel combo from clutchmasters and had an indy install them. They couldn't get the car to start with the new flywheel but it did with the old. I eventually had to get an another one direct from Aasco and it worked fine. I never followed up with aasco to see if they found anything wrong with the original one. I know they're made on a CNC machining center and as such, it's hard to imagine how one flywheel would differ from another, when intended for the same application. My indy also bent my valves while doing the IMSB replacement and didn't tighten all of the bolts on the clutch cover and crank sensor. Ask me how I know. ( see previous thread about 'strange clutch behaviour')
Is the check engine light on?
