Flywheel Bolts

When I recently installed a new clutch set up in my Wagon I used ARP flywheel bolts.

After I got the Wagon all back together I realized the bolts did come with instructions which state do not use lock washers with these flywheel bolts.

You can already guess from my writing this post, I did. :eek:

A call to ARP, their tech suggested I pull the trans, and clutch back out to remove these lock washers I used.

Before I go to all this trouble, can someone tell me if this is nessessary?

I know I don't want the flywheel working loose some day when it feels like it, and coming up through the windshield of my Wagon.

:(

I was concerned about the ARP bolts being too long and interfering with the back of the block?

I laid under the engine and watched as I tightened a couple of the bolts.

The ARP tech said to cut the bolts if they are indeed too long, just don't use heat as a method of cutting them.

When I installed a couple of the bolts watching the depth, I'm sure they went in the crank a fair amount.
