Wow.

[meritlover]

i wonder what the bulkhead looks like.

[therealnovaboy]

i wonder what the bulkhead looks like.

I wonder what the flywheel looks like. probably a bad case of DIY lightened and balanced flywheel.

or a case of 'badly diy lightened flywheel'

[scott.parker]

Looks familiar the way the bonnet is done, have seen one where the driver lost there knee to a shattered flywheel..

[Andy]

This is why we use flywheel guards in racing.

Would that stop that? Ive seen when a fly's cut thought the block....

[Andy]

10mm thick plate at the bulkhead.I ****ing hope i never have to find out if it works!!!

[Andy]

The block? Why would it go through the block its on the end? Bellhousing maybe.
Block i doubt.

[Benn]

I might be thinking off bellhousing as i can't find the pic. Been looking for it...

[Andy]

Yeah i cant see it heading for the block tbh.

[Andy]

This threads got me para now im gonna stick one on the top of the bellhousing too for next year lol
mines standard mind.

[Novasport]

Be even worse on a left hooker, don't want that flying at your b*****ks :tard:

[Andy]

Yikes lol

[Stuart]

Put one of those rings they put around jet engines, around the flywheel lol

hobo/gyppo lightened and balanced flywheels are dangerous lol
bonus points for the film.....

hehe, youll be fine with a standard andy.

i think that flywheel was lightened at home, and never taken to a shop for balancing, so it probably wobbled itself into 6 pieces, before going on holiday

Looks like commando to me.

Winner!

[Alex J]

bet that looks good under the bonnet..

****!!!!!!

[staggy_gsi]

Holy sh!t!!!!

[Southie]

That's scary!

[Alex J]

when you say a d.i.y job whats been done?? looks standard to me from the pics? ive had my flywheel skimmed , wasnt done d.i.y it was done on a lath so hopefully be alright lol

[Andy]

When they have been skimmed to fukkery on a lathe.
Then not balanced.Everything that goes round ie wheels propshafts flywheels etc needs balancing to stop vibrations.
Vibrations can undo hobos re used bolts with no locktite.
Boom boom boom is the result lol

[Stuart]

or even if its been balanced, it might have been skimmed to the point that the thermal mass isnt enough and when using the clutch the flywheel gets hot and cracks

[Andy]

Yes that aswell.
Its a stupid thing to do.
A light skim wont harm but iv seen somebody showing carrier bags of swarf off to people thinking its funny.
Now he drilled holes in to balance it too.

[mowgli]

I saw a rover sd1 fall out with its flywheel on the stebbe straight at Mallory somewhere in the mid 80's.... it luckily went down not up, but the whole car jumped in the air when it did, leaving a pile of shrapnel.
its well known that a lightened flywheel is worth thousands of php(pub horsepower), so prats keep doing it.

another version of the flywheel skim I've seen done badly is in the agricultural world, where they mostly use sintered plates, and the flywheel gets a load of stick.. the flywheels need skimming when the clutch is replaced, but they only have about 3 skims in them. to skim one properly entails having the wear & mounting surfaces machined down the same amount, then the clutch gets adjusted out so it works fine.. people either don't skim the mounting surface and adjust the clutch, so the thrust bearing falls off the end of the snout, wrecking the clutch, or they over skim it, so the clutch plate rubs on the flywheel bolts wearing them away with fairly terminal results...

[Alex J]

Ive got vibration over 100mph on track from the nearside of mine lol, by by engine then lol

[jimbob-mcgrew]

be alright alex - no worries :thumb:

im drunk as hell riigh=t now tho, so anything goes lol
