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 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
