<VV> flywheel inspection

[Harry Yarnell]

What do you mean by 'think you have a bolted flywheel'? If it's held 
together with nuts and bolts, it's 'bolted'. The bolts could be socket-head 
(Torx or Allen), or hexhead.

I'm getting ready to reinstall my bellhousing, clutch, and flywheel 
tomorrow.  I bought a new clutch from clarks but the clutch had very few 
miles on it so I'm just putting the pressure plate and flywheel back on the 
same way they came off.

I read somewhere that you should drop the flywheel from about an inch or so 
and it should "ring" not "clunk".  I have what I believe is the "bolted" 
flywheel.. and it did not ring.  What should I do now?  I can post a picture 
of the flywheel if there is any uncertainty as to what type it is.  I'm no 
mechanic so keep it simple!

The engine is question is from a 65' Corsa with a 66' four speed.

Thanks!
