Default Re: Is a lightened flywheel overrated? (I think so)

Brent, I agree with you 100%. I like the heavy flywheel until I have to lift one but that is only temporary.

One member of our club says the lightened flywheel is good because when hitting a railroad track, the crankshaft does not flex as bad and cause the center main to go out. (I say the crank is probably not ground on a center line)

Another one say he likes the V8 pressure plate because it is easier on the left leg. He is a machinist and actually turns the flywheels down.
