<VV> idle rattle in the 66' Corsa: follow-up

[Ray Rodriguez III]

I got the flywheel out an hour or so ago.  Initially I was concerned because 
it didn't show any sign of being loose...  then I noticed that the bolt 
heads on the engine side of the flywheel had been interfering slightly with 
the bottom bellhousing bolts as "HTKYCA" mentions... apparently causing a 
similar noise.

I'm going to install my other flywheel (which has nearly flush allen head 
bolts on the engine side) and re-bolt this one for the other engine when I 
have time.
