Hi guys,

Is it a problem that most of the dowells stayed in the flywheel when the flywheel was removed from the crank, or is that normal?
Only 2 remained in the crank.

Should I panic, or not :)

No. The wedging is tight which you want. You can put the dowels back in and reset up end play. If they are suspected too lose, then you have to do Seconary action.

On my tear downs the dowels always stay in but they may have been loctite'ed. Like JFats says if they are loose, as in finger loose, when you put them in then you will have to go oversized. They should need vice grip type strength to get out. How did you separate the wedgemate?
