- How many of you folks have a flywheel laying around? What are they off of and how much do they weigh? THERE IS A QUIZ AT THE END OF THIS RATHER LONG POST Here is the deal. A lister sent me a private

- I don't think it can really be seen as this simple. You aren't accelerating it from point A along vector V, so it's not it's weight that matters. You are accelerating it from a slow spinning speed to

- You got into an area with which I am familiar. That's not to say "expertise" but it rings a bell. When I was doing the V8 engine for the B, my racer friend, Fred, lightened the flywheel. As you migh

- Well Bob, When I had my first MGB engine apart, I took the flywheel into the machine shop with the same question in mind. Someone recommended getting an aluminum wheel to me, but I ccould never find

- Actually, I forgot to mention this in my last flywheel related post. I was under the impression that a lighter flywheel would give me quicker acceleration, but my machine shop told me that I could ex

- I still agree it would give faster acceleration. I am unsure of the amount and if it's worth it, but it seems logical that if you can rev the engine faster against it's own weight while in neutral, i

- << NOW BACK TO THE ORIGINAL QUESTION: 1.) Do any of you folks have a loose flywheel laying around? 2.) What car it is from, how much does it weigh? 3.) What does the surface look like on the front si

- Do be careful if you're thinking of lightening your flywheel. It's right beside your legs when your sitting in the car and has teeth kinda like a big saw blade. It also might be turning five times or
