  4. Yep, new flywheel time!!

    Someone has been running it with a worn/slipping clutch and over heated it... The blue spots are where the flywheel has got near red hot!! :eek:

    jeepers that's been overheated to get thermal cracking like that :eek: that needs framing, Test Labs strive to get a component cracking like that!
     
  9. One of the guys over on VZi has just pulled his flywheel, and it was looking like that!!


    Was off a drag engine tho :lol:

  16. @Paul Weeding I measured the clutch friction plate about 208 mm - 209 mm diameter … makes it a shrunken 210 mm I assume.
