the smooth side of the flywheel should face away from the engine since the clutch will be making contact with that side

My flywheel bolt holes would only line up one way.

The flywheel only bolts on 1 way. The 6 holes are spaced in such a way that they only line up all 6 in one position.

If you can't get one bolt in, then move the flywheel to another position.

The bolt circle for the flywheel bolts in the crank is not symetrical. The bolt holes in the flywheel will line up with the holes in the crank in only one position.

I used a little bit of the red. It will help avoid any leaks.

You can use loctite (red) or some thread sealer if you want. Torque it to 85ft. lbs...
