[Shotimes] SHO Flywheel questions?

[Bruce Malachuk]

Well my pocket is $38 lighter, but I'll have a freshly reground FW tomorrow
morning at my local Napa. I sure hope the winter beater appreciates it and
doesn't give me any crap after this.

Chevy never does seize to amuse me with their parts. The ever-famous SB & BB
universal internally balanced motor flexplates are a riot. There's barely
ANY flexplate to the bastard!! Which brings me to my next issue to bring up.
When your flywheel happens to get too thin or you purchase a generic/cheap
flywheel, be weary of weak materials. If the flywheel warps, it'd be like
have a flexplate tweaking and destorying your torque converter, which isn't
impossible and is a common problem w/ budget motor builds! Thought that was
some good stuff to realize...
