i got this idea the other forum member resurface his fw by turning it on a lathe,

can a brake lathe accomplish taking the extra weighting on the stock flywheel? and if they went deeper just a tad wouldn't it automatically zero balance the unit without putting it on a balancer?


comments?

I'd probably cut it off with a grinder, then use a lathe to finish it.

As long as you zero the face it should end up at near zero assuming the flywheel was at zero to before the weight was cast in.

This motor is together and in the car?

stock valve covers will work with super ram with a little playing. A little more playing on driver side.

I know you can't chuck it to resurface it.

It might work since the wieghts are on the other plate, you also might wind up with something of unknown balance.

Resurfaced in a lathe, and cut the weight off in a lathe. Then balanced it to dead zero.

We ran allen head set screws threw the the pressure plate mounting holes to keep the 2 halves parallel. A lot of work but it served its purpose.
