<DIV>We have been installing a NEW 15 lb flywheel for probably 25 plus years and
never had a problem. Especially on the 100/4 motors they notice the biggest
improvement.</DIV>

<DIV>I had a lightened flywheel on my bn4 ,but gave it up to put a bj8 clutch in
it. I do notice a difference, but my left knee is happier with the late model
clutch cover. <BR><BR>

<DIV>Rather than tagging onto an already very long thread, I thought I'd throw
in my 2 cents on a new email.</DIV>

<DIV>I'm with Earl on this one. When Mike Meindorfer rebuilt my engine during
my restoration of my BN7 (where IS Mike these days?) in 1991, he used a
lightened flywheel from Bill Bolton. The most notable difference for me was
the responsiveness of the car when I was driving. There wasn't as much inertia
to overcome as the car went from idle to 3000 rpm, and much less apparent lag
when shifting gears. I wasn't interested in acceleration per se -- Drag racing
is not something you're ever going to do with a Healey -- but rather the
satisfying feeling of a car that was a pleasure to drive away from a stop and
up through the gears. Incidentally, I haven't done so much as adjust the
carburetor since the engine was rebuilt. Can you believe it? 30 years ago.
That whole period was so long ago and remembered only with the Healey still in
the garage and driven on Saturdays in southern Oregon, and a dozen or so
Healey meet plaques on my office wall.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>All the best, everyone.</DIV>
<DIV>May the smoke clear, may the rains stop, and may the fires be
contained.</DIV>
