Alloy flywheels seem harder to keep attached to the crankshaft. With proper care, they work well, though. They seem to be more troublesome in the 6 cylinder motors, anecdotally. - Tony ______________

We have a couple of guys "engine builders" here in OZ who say that using an alloy flywheel makes it difficult to get off the line. I would not even consider a steel flywheel unless it has the same s

My steel flywheel is 10lbs, has no steel insert, and has always stayed on the crankshaft. The secret of the weight is in the machining. Joe A </HTML> _______________________________________________

Please elaborate a bit Kas. I've never heard of a steel flywheel for a TR. I always assumed they were all cast iron as OEM. Were there some that were steel from the factory? Or were the steel ones so

Greg, check out this link below. It seems the consensus is steel vs. aluminum. This was my thought also and I now have 2 steel flywheels for the long ended crankshaft. I'm having one of them machined

STEEL! YES! These have and can be made in the u.s. If there is an order interest of 10 we could revisit the quote & leadtime. I want another one myself. Joe A ________________________________________

BPNW stocks a TR4 and TR6 lightweight steel flywheel. They have conflicting info, the blurb says 9.5 lbs. but the link on the order page says 11 lbs. Either way, it's steel and of the same design as

I'm not a fan of alloy flywheels, I've had two come adrift despite a lot of modification and prep. The steel flywheels are almost as light and seem bulletproof. The cast ones can't be lightened enoug

We have been using aluminum alloy flywheels on the TR-4 engines for over 25 years. Then engines we have put them on have ranged from 115 hp to 190 hp. We have had one (1) problem in that time. I t wa

Sorry, I understand that the 6 cylinder engine is a "different kettle of fish" and is much harder to keep the flywheel on at high rpm. Greg Solow _______________________________________________ http:
