<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>Ira Erbs<br>

<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>
