<DIV>Yup – had that happen years ago to a friend’s 2 - seat tri-carb. Managed to
bang it on sufficiently through the starter access hole in the rear plate in
order to move the car . Installed a new ring gear to the same flywheel as
soon as we could – the car ran for many years after that with no further
problems.</DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>Has anyone ever seen or heard of a 6 cylinder Healey flywheel ring
gear that was not fully seated onto the flywheel. I discovered just such a
situation with a flywheel from a motor that had little over 5,000 miles on it.
There is a bit more than 1/8th inch gap. The ring gear was rubbing on the top 2
rear engine plate mounting bolts. It was definitely a noise maker. I
suspect that is why the engine came out of the car at such low
mileage.<BR><BR>Richard Mayor<BR></DIV>
