New Fly wheel for a stroked 350
I've been reading posts and web articles and I can't seem to find a definitive answer. About 10 years ago I did a new build on my 72 2-bolt with new pistons and rods on a 400 crank. A little clearance on the oil pan rails and it runs really well on pump gas and my older fuelie heads - no complaints.
Here's my dilemma. I used the original flywheel from my 59 with a crank balance weight and a new balancer and then had it all balanced. Love it - it's great, but the starter gear is really beginning to give me problems and wear on the bendix gear. Can I just buy a new aftermarket flywheel that's externally balanced or do I need to find a shop to somehow match the balance of the old one? or should I buy a regular flywheel and use the balancer weight I bought from Summit?

What was said above. You can also look at the old flywheel for drill or grinder marks where they balanced it. If there are none then a replacement flywheel should be fine.

Re: New Fly wheel for a stroked 350
Listen to Cline....do not mess with the balance on that engine! Another trick (old school), was to take the ring gear off, & flip it.....assuming, that there were no teeth completely missing
 Best of fun, crazy L

Do you think that we should talk about welding the teeth back on the ring gear, &chopping them in with a die grinder Shorthorn

Nah!
Too confusing for the ‘let’s just buy a new one’ crowd! Good to see you missed the corona! We been lucky too. Living on a big island helps. We had 129 cases and 3 died. |
