Anybody know what the deal is with QSC when it comes to flywheels?
I did a quick look and "OEM" supplier early 911/914-6 flywheels are $500+ new. But a few places are selling "QSC" for ~$200 new. I've heard the name QSC for cylinders (not in high regard) but anyone have experience with flywheels? |

I've gotten a flywheel from the cheap places (wasn't for a 914 though) and had a problem with the face where the crank seal rides was too small. Would have leaked like CRAZY. Luckily, I had heard mention of that issue before, so I knew to check it.
So just check the thing over dimensionally when you get it. Also, cheaper steel alloy/mixtures may wear more quickly. I haven't heard of it happening, but it is a logical possibility. |
