Inspect
1 Inspect the flexplate assembly for the following
conditions:
• Stress cracks around the flexplate to torque
converter mounting bolt hole locations (1).
• Stress cracks around the flexplate to crankshaft
mounting bolt hole locations (2 and 4).
• Cracks at welded areas that retain the ring gear
onto the flexplate (3).
• Damaged or missing ring gear teeth (5).
2 Replace the flexplate assembly as required.
NOTE
The flexplate ring gear is not serviced
separately and cannot be repaired. If found to
be faulty or damaged, the flexplate assembly
must be replaced.
CAUTION
Do not repair the welded areas that retain
the ring gear to the fl explate. The flexplate
must be replaced.
Figure 6A1 – 454
Reinstall
NOTE
The bolt holes are unevenly spaced to enable
flexplate fitment in the one position only.
1 Place the flexplate assembly (2) in position on the crankshaft.
2 Install new flexplate attaching bolts (1) and hand tighten.

CAUTION
Powdered metal connecting rods have rod
bolts which yield when tighten to the
specified torque. If the bolts are loosened or
removed they must be replaced. Rod bolts
that are not replaced will not torque to the
correct clamp load and can lead to serious
engine damage.
9 Remove the connecting rod bolts (1), loosening progressively from side to side.
CAUTION
The connecting rod caps must remain with
the original connecting rod.
10 Remove the connecting rod cap (2).
