<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> </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>
