Installation Notes and Tips

Verify tooth count, outside diameter, and pitch flywheel requirements before installation. Confirm the application notes for police, special high-performance, and heavy-duty exclusions, since several listed vehicles have engine or package-specific exceptions. Check starter alignment and inspect the mating surfaces, crankshaft flange, and transmission components during service.
