[Healeys] Lightened flywheels

[kags at shaw.ca]

I have Bill Bolton lightened flywheels in both my Healeys.  According to Kent Lambert, who took over Bills Healey business awhile back, the stock weight (6 cyl) is 28.5 pounds, and Bills machining program reduced them to 24.

 

Both of my cars run just fine, no problems at all in the 20 + or so years that I’ve had them installed.

6 cylinder flywheels vary slightly but are all generally in the 29 pound range. Very aggressive machine work can get the weight down to the 22-23 pound range. 

How much weight you take off will affect your driving style. To maintain the feel of a stock Healey while still improving the engines response, I suggest removing no more than 3 pounds.
