They provided their own fasteners? Do you happen to remember whether they were shouldered bolts? The only reason they would specify no washers would be to increase the fastener depth (which would seem to indicate they are aware of the issue). It would be nice if someone with a Fidanza aluminum flywheel could measure the depth of the shoulder hole and post it. From the factory, did Ford PPs come with washers under the PP bolts?
