- I have a 19lb flywheel now, but for my engine rebuild, I've obtained a wheel lightened to about 12lbs. Is this too lite for street use? What kind of problems , if any can I expect. Thanks in Advance,

- The only problem with a flywheel that's 12 pounds is that it might be weakened from loosing all the mass. Presuming that your crank is the late-style, that's easily 1/2 of the stock flywheel weight,

- I don't have a clue if 12 pounds is too light for a TR6, but I do know what happens if you have too light a flywheel in a car. It is very difficult to smoothly start the car up from rest. This can b

- I think Bob's TR6 needs to go on a low carb diet or something, because his crank is morbidly overweight! 64lbs is pretty much spot on for stock 70-76 TR6 crankshafts. Kai -- Kai M. Radicke Wishbone C

- Umm... my cranks are def lighter than that. :-0 How about 80 pounds _with the flywheel_? I still haven't shipped a crank, but I do find that moving the spares around the garage to be a good way to ge

- Well, I just weighed an early crank before shipping it to Ontario, and with box, it is 66#, so 64# is just right! Bill Slightly Classics Tucson
