I wouldnt let just any one carve lumps out of a cast flywheel.
Scholar Engines would be my recomendation. They did my zetec fly.

You don't need to machine holes in to a fly wheel to lighten it just slim it down on a lathe while held in place with a running centre.

I doubt if many of us have a lathe with that much swing.
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!

Very true but your more likely to find a local machine shop with a gap bed lathe than a machinist willing to cut big holes in a fly wheel.

dave do you know what your flywheel weighs?
i don't want to drill holes in it i just want some taking off the back.

havent a clue,
but it had a reasonable amount removed from the back, then was rebalanced.... its still on the engine at the moment
if you can get at yours to measure, i will do the same to compare ?

Hi
If doing the job properly then take it to somewhere that will re balance the flywheel WITH the crank and clutch. You do not just balance a flywheel
and bolt it back onto a crank.
Cheers Matt
