Hi Again;

Can a stock cast iron? flywheel be machined/lightened?
Are there any material problems other than standard strength/thickness/balance?

Does anyone, Lynn?, have any comments regarding the minimum flywheel inertia
in order to provide a stable idle and minimize the effects of torque pulses?


I've seen ligtened flywheels advertised on some of the racing shop sites, but boy are they expensive.
