Here's something for you k10 owners http://wap.ebay.co.uk/Pages/ViewIte...&hash=item4155e889d1&autoredirect=off&sflag=1
why ebay find and not for sale?
Don't like that it doesn't look even close to being balanced
I maybe wrong
Won't be putting it near my Micra probably knacker the crank it'll be throwing out so much
you are wrong its perfectly balanced, why does it not look ballanced?
it will not knacker your crank, i ran that very flywheel for well over 18 months.
(im not selling it btw, i sold it months age, got far less than £60 too)
karl, its clearly obvious its you. caught![]()
Because the holes drilled are very speradically drilled, I've had a few lightened flys and they have never looked that random
If it is even slightly unbalanced which it looked like to me although that does not mean it is unbalanced by any means! But if it were, this would cause the fly wheel to throw out like a wheel would at 60mph, but a flywheel isn't attached to a nice sturdy hub it's attached to a ####y crank which isn't particularly strong anyway and also a flywheel spins 1000s of times faster than a road wheel! And that horrible wobble you get when a wheel is a few gram off is the same punishment the crank takes when a fly is wrong, this cause the crank to move and possibly bend resulting in one dead engine
If the correct paper work showing the fly was spot on could be shown to me I'd have no issues at all, but someone saying it was fitted to mine for a while and didn't break anything doesn't prove it's ok it just hadn't had enough time to rip the crank from it's cradle yet
the holes are NOT random, i know why and so does it say in the thread i posted when i made the flywheel, im not stupid i know what can/would happen if something is out of ballance, i was just stating that that fly will not damage your crank as it is not out of ballance.
i dont have to explain myself to you, i know its sound, but if 18months of almost 1500 miles per month is not a long enough period to 'rip the crank from its cradle' then i doubt it would to be honest.
a point you have made im unclear on, 'a flywheel spins 1000s of times faster than a road wheel!' my engine revs to 7700rpm ish (so call it 8k as thats what i hit in my k10 a couple of times) so you say if a road wheel spins 1000's of times slower than that, so thats like slower than 8rpm you wouldnt be going too far to fastly. lol
