I have had good success with the Fidanza aluminum flywheelwith a simple
modification.  I had the holes enlarged and countersunk to take ARP Insert
Washers[200-8563].  These provide a hardened steel support for the bolts and
keeps them from enlarging the holes in the flywheel by "walking".  You can
see a picture of the flywheelwith the inserts and ARPbolts at:
