    Are you sure it's the correct flywheel and clutch combo?
    Have they any way of proving the 5k on the flywheel?

    If they are both answered yes then maybe you'll get away with it!

    Once you're sure of the flywheel then fire away.
    Are you going to diy it? If so make sure they are aligned so so so correctly!
