[Tigers] machine it or replace it?

[Owain Lloyd]

is there an accepted rpm limit for cast flywheels or would a steel one
be recommended for 6000rpm?

sadly Summit only ship to the US and in fact i've already ordered
$1000 worth of parts from them this morning to have a colleague bring
over for me next week - but a flywheel is pushing it - its kind of
anti-social to ask someone to carry that over for you :)
