RE: Flywheels and clutchesIt sounds to me like the part is okay with a
little work in cleaning up. You might consider ( more work though)
boring the holes larger for steel sleeves rather than shoulder bolts.
You really need a true hole and tight fit for the dowel pin. Can you
rotate the flywheel so that you can bore another hole for the pin??
I did a little deal on the 6 cyl engines that might work for you Bill.
I made a hub about 5" in diameter that was an interference fit to the
end of the crankshaft. This hub was made to have the longest depth onto
the crank as I could ( about =BE" as I rmnember) Obviously tapered to
clear everything around it and the flywheel was turned off on the back
so that all the dimensions were original. You bolt the flywheel to the
hub and heat then hub and slide over the crank using bearing mount
locktite. this gave a lot more support for the flywheel and stopped a
whole lot of the wobble. I also used shoulder bolts into the flywheel
for the clutch so that each bolt acted like a dowel pin. Worked great.
