Hey Pete, cheers for that. I'm off to see a man about head-work so I'll have a word while I'm there. Have you ever had a flywheel lightened dude?PeteGLi wrote:I don't think that just lightening the flywheel on its own will do much good. In fact, it may do more harm. Ideally, you should get the whole crankshaft and clutch assembly balanced so that the unit as a whole, rotates smoothly without vibration.

Yes, the flywheel on my EG code 1.6 GLi engine was lightened when Brian Ricketts rebuilt the whole engine. Smoothest engine I've ever driven.Risocco wrote:Hey Pete, cheers for that.

OK no worries, cheers for the input matey, think I'll leave this a bit and get the crank done to match it.PeteGLi wrote:Yes, the flywheel on my EG code 1.6 GLi engine was lightened when Brian Ricketts rebuilt the whole engine.
