Jason,

Quicktime advertises that every bellhousing they produce passes SFI testing. As you know, there are many flavors of SFI ratings, 6.1, 6.3, etc. However, for the bellhousing to pass SFI testing means that it will contain a flywheel explosion. They may not all be 6.1 rated (perimeter bolts, pretty sticker, etc), but they are all advertised to contain an explosion.

I really don't understand the instance of where the bellhousing separated from the block. That's kinda like saying that an oil pan is guaranteed to withstand a rotating assembly throwing a rod....then blaming the oil pan when the rod breaks the block above the pan and exits the engine. The bolts pulled out of the block. I don't see that as being the bellhousing's fault. If the bellhousing would have shattered into a million pieces, it would have been one thing....but pulling the threads out of the block and allowing the flywheel to slip in behind is another.

I guess we don't see eye to eye on this particular subject and that's absolutely fine....we're all allowed to have our own opinions. That's what makes us special....
