While the engine is apart, I'm thinking of doing something about
lightening the flywheel. I see that Moss wants $480 for an alloy
flywheel. What does it normally cost to get a machine shop to lighten
a stock flywheel? Are there other good sources for such?

Also, what are the downsides to a lightened flywheel? Harder to idle?
Likewise, what are the quantifiable differences. If my 130 hp MGB will
turn a 2:20 lap with a stock flywheel, what should I expect to see
with a lightened one?
