FLYWHEELS/FLEXPLATES
The M-6007-Z460FFT(FRT) requires a neutral balance flywheel. If using an automatic transmission a neutral
balance flexplate is required.
MISCELLANEOUS PROBLEMS THAT CAN DAMAGE AN ENGINE
Nuts, bolts, washers, or foreign materials dropped down the intake.
If reusing an intake manifold that had broken internal parts, visually inspect that all debris has been removed. These
broken parts often end up in the intake manifold, carburetor, or air cleaner (pieces of piston or piston rings, etc.).
This debris will cause engine failure if not removed.
Do not install a manifold that was media blasted. You will NEVER get all the blasting media out. Any media
remaining will be drawn out and destroy the engine.
Properly torque
all
fasteners when installing new parts to your engine. Do not over torque the intake manifold bolts.
Proper torque is 15-18 lb.*ft. Intake bolts must have 5/8” of thread engagement.
If changing the distributor, select a distributor with a steel distributor gear. The M-6007-Z2427FFT(FRT) requires a
steel gear distributor.
