Flywheel ???

Post by Dan Hatch » Wed Sep 08, 2021 3:04 pm

Anyone ever see a flywheel like this? Has 4 of these, each 90 degrees from each other. Ring gear has same but a counterbore to fit the raised sleeve. Have not tried to see if the “sleeve “ is removable. Does any one know.
Customer brought this to me to rebuild, but looks like he will need a flywheel.
Input???
Thanks Dan

Was thinking that was the story.
Guess I should save the ring gear for humanity??
NOT! Thanks Dan

If the flywheel is in otherwise good shape, and you don't want to use those sleeves, you could just grind them flush and use a standard ring gear.

or you could easily modify the new ring gear and let the next guy in 50 years see how '19 cars were built...

Well yes, that too. I only mention the other option since he was leaning towards junking the existing flywheel.
