It's funny - my service manual lists a lot of "disposable" parts like the axle circlips, the axle nuts, the ball joint pinch bolts, but says nothing about replacing the flywheel bolts. The install procedure for the bolts is "tighten to 85 (##?) ft-lbs in an alternating pattern" or something of the sort - but no mention of a typical TTY procedure of tighten, loosen, retighten so maybe they went to TTY bolts on the later years? I know my last shop didn't replace them - but that's not saying much since they reinstalled rounded bolts  . Anyway - I'm planning to reuse the originals and use some threadlock on them. I also had an o-ring on the back of my throw out bearing, so I reused that but added some extra RTV just to be safe.

Scott,
You have a brave soul. It is too much work to do this again. I don't think you will have any problems but, I wouldn't trust them. I was talking with Bill and he said that alot of customers didn't know they were TTY bolts. He has people call him all the time with a last minute order for bolts.
Just a Plain SE.

I maybe path914's B**** now, but wait until he needs his clutch done. We will see WHO is WHO's B**** then!

Hmmm, I just re-read the service manual and there is no mention anywhere of new flywheeel bolts? Also the tightening procedure is NOT a typical TTY torque, back off, re-torque. I checked under the engine flywheel, transaxle and rear seal replacement procedures and all say the samee thing - so I'll take the chance I guess.
- Install -
2. Install flywheel and eight flywheel-to-crankshaft bolts. Tighten bolts to 112 N-m (83 lb-ft) in a criss-cross pattern.

Sorry - on one hand you have Bill who I'd never question and on the other you have warmonger and the service manual saying it's okay. Maybe you guys did the right thing and we're just pushing our luck?
I do have to go into work tomorow but could most likely get out after 1/2 a day. My work number is 858-385-3023, either give me a call or PM me here to see if we can set up a good time between the 3 of us.
Also - I want to double check - it takes quite a bit of "tapping" to seat the new rear main seal right? And once it's flush with the face of the block it's in far enough? My biggest fear is that my stupid 21 dollar oil seal will somehow fail and take out a weeks worth of work and the new clutch disk
