Lightening a Flywheel...

Beetlenut · Post by **Beetlenut** » Thu Dec 21, 2000 8:31 pm

Since I have the engine out for a bit of restoration and attention, I've been thinking of having the flywheel in my 1500cc lightened & balanced for a little "zestier" low end. Will have it lightened to 13Lbs, as I have heard of problems going lighter than 12Lbs.

Any feedback on this process? Any reputible, reliable places to send the flywheel for this operation?

Thank's

Check out technical talk about flywheels under tech tips at www.geneberg.com. They have all sorts of cool information.
