(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Gentlemen and Ladies;
I've spent the winter rebuilding my 1.8 up to 2142 (or there about). The question I would pose is about the weight of the flywheel I need to purchase. My new Eagle Rods and KB pistons are much lighter than the stock equipment from 1974, does the sum of the mass in the case need to correspond with the mass of the flywheel somehow? I've seen two choices: 17lbs and 12 lbs. Your thoughts? Thanks. ScottD |

No plans to race the thing, but not a daily driver either. Living in the
NorthEast, I'll be picky about the days I will take her out on the road. Weekend touring mostly, we have a lot of fun windy roads around here. I should post a WTB on the Classified Forum for a pair of used 40's. Saw a set on ebay recently, but the price was up to $350 and reserve still not met. Maybe they are worth it. |
