Varmint,
I just had this conversation with Mike Forte, Forte's Performance Parts. All of the major, quality flywheels are 8mm metric bolts, as is the Ford line. Two big Chinese suppliers (CAT is one) have flooded the market with cheap flywheels, and they all have 5/16-18 inch dimension bolting. It appears that people are dumping the Chinese flywheels anywhere they can - overall quality is not good. While they are stated to be SFI certified, other critical products in the power generation industry have been found to be no where near the quality stated, and there have been catastrophic failures, and fatalities as a result.
To answer your question, I believe the bolt circle is the same. However, I will not consider one of the inch dimension Chinese flywheels - I value my legs.Last edited by rspears; 10-10-2009 at 04:11 PM. Reason: Clarified bolt circle dimension.

Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
