I have been slowly rebuilding my ST165 for about a year and a half after a friend blew it up. Originally bought a reman crank only to find out that it was a 6 bolt crank and i needed a 8 bolt crank. that set me back several months until i recently found a moderate mileage JDM motor. Opened the motor and everything looked awesome, no wear on the bearings, extremely clean, so i was pumped! so i start reassembling the motor, get everything cleaned up, ready to bolt to the trans. I had my clutch and flywheel re-surfaced and rebuilt as well. When i went to boly the flywheel to the crank, the bolts are a different size. The bolts i have are M12 x 1.25, and the crank is M10 x 1.25. What gives? how many crank options are there?
The main point of my post was not to rant, but thanks for reading. What im really curious about is drilling and re-tapping the crank. the holes are patterned correctly for my flywheel, what problems could occur if i just drill and tap it? or can i get ythe propper bolts and use some kind of spacer in the flywheel holes?
Thanks.
