[TR] lightening flywheel

[wbeech]

Phil,

The way the machine shop explained it to me, balance them separately then
you don't have to pull the flywheel when you replace a clutch.  It made
perfect sense, so that is what I did when we re-built the original TR3
engine for the car last year.

Maybe if you are into a real high-performance situation, but I should think
that 90% of us are not.

So that when you put in a new clutch assembly you have to remove the
flywheel and have it balanced again?  

The plate has to be balanced separately anyway:  Every time you use the
clutch the plate winds up at a different random position.
