[QUOTE="timbo3282, post: 10892737, member: 30499"] So with the heavier flywheel the engine isn't going to spin up as quickly as it did with the aluminum flywheel - but the engine should not feel like it is down on power. It should just rev a little more slowly. I'm guessing that something else is the problem if the engine is actually down on power. Is it possible the new clutch is slipping? Removing any reciprocating weight you can is always a good idea. While the billet steel flywheels are cheaper the aluminum flywheels are worth the extra money. It looks like you could have drilled out the steel insert in that old flywheel and riveted a new one in. but I am not totally certain. I'd have to see it in person to be certain. Buying an aftermarket aluminum flywheel with a replaceable steel friction surface is the only way to go - you get what you pay for. [/QUOTE]
