Greetings Listers--
I'll be installing an OD tranny and clutch in my '76 next month and have
been considering having the flywheel shaved while I'm in there. I've
heard pros & cons about doing this from people I respect, but would
appreciate additional wisdom. I'm not looking for race-winning
performance with this somewhat tired engine, but would like to get a
little more low-cost punch out of it if possible. (Aluminum's probably
out of the question price-wise.) What's the verdict on safety? If I do
have any metal removed, I would probably stay on the conservative side,
but what's recommended and what can I expect in the way of performance?
Finally, since I've loaned out my Bentley manual and have forgotten all
that's involved in removing a flywheel (special tools or whatever), I may
put the decision off until I have the engine rebuilt in a year or two.
Thanks,
Ian
