What kind of flywheel did you buy? I have a fidenza aluminum flywheel and I had to bolt the weight on and put the dowel pins in. It came with a little tube of green loctite for the weight bolts and dowel pins that must be used.

I used brake cleaner to take off any rust protective films on the flywheel...

Bingo I also put loc-tite on the flywheel bolts. Some people just use blue rtv too.

I stayed with the stocker iron style flywheel for more off the line powerlus this is a budget build and those aluminums are farging expensive. So yall used locktite to secure the bolts? My haynes manual says to use teflon tape? Maybe thats wrong. Thanks for the tips.
