I have an aftermarket flex plate unsure on brand and i have problems with the flexplate having play in it, the bolts holes have a little play on them and after awhile the flexplate wears where the bolt goes and it losens up, the bolts still stay tight though. i compared the holes to the tci flexplate and stock flexplate and they had play in the bolts holes also. anyone know of anything i can do to keep this from happening?

 

Not sure I understand the problem. Are we talking converter bolts or crank bolts? Are you using loctite?

sorry, its the crank bolts, yes i use loctite, the botls stay tight but the bolt has like a built in washer and after awhile that washer cuts in the flexplate and it allows the flexplate have play in it.

 

What flexplate and what crank bolts? What kind of loctite?

Chris

 

tci flexplate, arp bolts and stock bolts fit the same and i used red loctite

 

I have seen an issue with the powder coating on the flexplate cause an issue. Might try sanding it off and see what happens.

Chris

 

thanks i will see what i can do

 

do you think if i put a locker washer on them that would help?

 

The ARP bolts are designed to be run with out any washer.
