Lightened Flywheel

I have a lighter flywheel and pullies on my Spider, and I did not notice any of the supposed ill effects. Car drives like any other, but revs quicker.

+1 vandor, i agree, i never have had ill effects from lightweight items. quality is the key.

All pulleys would help, or just a subset? I am doing my second engine now, and have purchased Mark's FW, but haven't decided on the pulleys. Is it worth the cost, in your opinions?

your steel lightened one is 13.6 lbs, i will not give dimentions on this flywheel as it is someone elses design and their property their engineering and their product, my steel lightened one is 11.8 again i have no safety disclaimer nor has any engineer approved my methods or design, it has worked for me very well over many miles. also i will NOT reproduce one for a customer for liability issues

I am excited to see what I am having build, not only that but all pulleys are aluminum or lighten, fly wheel included , can't wait to put the metal down to the floor

If you grind down all the cam lobes its really light and snappy

use the wrong oil and the cam lobes will grind themselves down for you

(?) Mark, can you expand upon that oil issue?

fiat218 · Post by **fiat218** » Thu Jan 30, 2014 8:27 am

I think he is referring to be using oil with zinc

Oh yes, of course. That is right.I got confused thinking about the gearbox oil.
