In high-torque Barra builds, the factory friction washer and bolts often aren't enough to hold the flexplate stationary against the crank flange. The long stroke of the Barra makes big power but also shakes the flex plate at a very high frequency trying to break it loose. Installing dowels helps the flexplate and bolts resist this shaking caused by the engine harmonics and other powertrain dynamics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- DID YOU KNOW SECTION --\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #f8f4fc; border-left: 5px solid var(--atomic-purple); padding: 20px; margin: 25px 0; border-radius: 4px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color: var(--atomic-purple); font-size: 1.1rem; display: block; margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003e💡 DID YOU KNOW?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0; font-size: 0.95rem;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe dowelling jig allows in-car drilling.\u003c\/strong\u003e Until now, dowelling a crank usually meant pulling the engine out.
