2.0l questions



Yeah, the plate on the 2.0L sounds like an auto tranny flex plate. For sure 
if it has a starter motor ring gear on it.
ETKA lists the threads as being 10mm X 1mm pitch for both 2.0 and 1.8, but 
says 10 ea bolts for the 2.0 and only 6 for the 1.8. I didn't have any 
problem with bolting the pressure plate to the 2.0 crank though.

As far as the stripped allen head I assume you mean the socket for the tool 
is stripped out.
Try:
hammering a 8mm triple square into the socket,
getting a vice grip on it.
taking a chisel to the side of it, create a nice groove for the chisel to 
bite then break it loose.
drill out the center of it until the head falls off with a 5/16 drill bit 
and remove the rest with a vice grip after removing the manifold.
