[Healeys] Lightweight Flywheel

[Peter & Veronica]

...faster revving, less torque. I’d think hard about it for road use.

For what it’s worth

Michael,

Thanks for the informative article. What is the affect of a lighter flywheel on the performance of the engine, especially in every day driving?

Regards,

Charlie

Has anyone used a lightweight flywheel on their 100 BN1? I plan on going with a complete Le Mans kit and a lightweight flywheel and the car will be for street use. If you have, what are your thoughts on it? Thanks.

I encourage as many people as possible to "M" up their 100's.
Makes original cars that much more valuable.

My understanding is that the 'kits' installed by dealers varied; the 
complete one--the one done at the Healey shop--includes higher 
compression pistons, a more aggressive cam, some suspension tweaks 
(stiffer shocks, maybe a larger anti-sway bar), a different distributor 
and, of course, the louvred bonnet.

Someone wrote up a list of mods that could be done--even better cam 
profile, for example--that could be done to a 'stock' BN1/2 to achieve 
performance superior to a M, while keeping the original 'flavor' of the car.
