See post # 12 above. I gave the shop the old bolts too.

 

Found one, from April 2012, after 85,000 miles with a Spec 2+ clutch.

OK, move along, nothing to see here. My former Navy and Air National Guard machinist friend came by and used my tools to make it look easy. He did use a hammer to seat the bit into the bolt head, though, which I was hesitant to do - first, do no harm! Eight bolts out, flywheel off, ready to proceed with 6MT installation.

percussive maintenance always works

That’s what I wanted to hear

Once you get those horrid torx bolts out, throw them away!

 

I always tell people to get the normal bolts subaru sells, which work just fine and you can use a normal socket to get them out instead of all this silly nonsense, I went through this once and I told myself never again.

 

part number 800210660.

I'm pretty sure they work with the dmfw, lwfw is better anyway.

hmmm. I'm looking for some used cylinder heads, how much is a rebuilt head going for these days?

 

$$$. new blank heads are $600 each. I was trying to buy long blocks.
