Hi Bob
If you are rebuilding your motor the best value for dollars spent is to have
the motor balanced. Costs very little (about $250 in OZ) and makes the motor
far smoother. It will then eagerly run up the rev range.
If you are contemplating lightening the flywheel change it to a steel one
instead. Although the original flywheels were reasonable quality lightening
them makes them weaker.
just my 2 cents worth from a racing Healey.
cheers
John Rowe
