Kurt, how does anyone know the real origin and/or quality of such bolts? I doubt the Porsche factory actually churns out flywheel bolts. They are probably made by a contractor, as are most of the parts on our cars. And the stuff at Fischer's is not some dollar-store junk. At least the storage boxes have German or Dutch writing on them and look imported to me. Are Porsche OEM flywheel bolts some sort of special carbon steel that no one is likely to replicate? If you use Loctite and the proper torque specs., what's the liklihood of a problem?
