I have a new fidanza flywheel and spec stage 3 clutch, the problem is the center whole in the fly wheel is 1 ½ inch, and .the pilot bearing is 1 ¼ inch . From what I have read the pilot bearing should fit snug in the center of the fly wheel hole. When I placed the bearing in the fly wheel hole there is about a ¼ inch gap all the way around. I’m not sure if this is normal, I called Fidanza to make sure I had the correct fly wheel and I went to Toyota and bought a new pilot bearing, The fly wheel was correct P/N 130591 T011, and the bearing from Toyota was the same size as the spec kit. Could this be a defected fly wheel, I have never removed or installed one before. Before I take it to get installed I wanted to make sure all the parts where correct. So is this normal or should I send the fly wheel back…thanks for any advice
