[TPR] 2015 Race season prep

[John Bentley]

unless you have switched from the stock flywheel, the flywheel is not interchangeable.  It is balanced with the rest of the rotating parts.  Changing the flywheel at this point will for sure introduce an imbalance.  What problem are you trying to solve?

 From the Pantera Research Institute - Pacific Northwest chapter.

Today I called around looking for a place that could balance my flywheel 
and clutch.  I found one. He reiterated that I needed to be sure the 
vibration was engine speed related, i.e. do I get the same vibration in 
every gear at the same rpm?  I've only managed to drive the Pantera a 
couple of times and not been focused on the vibration aspect.  I'll 
definitely get out to do that once the weather gets better and the 
driveway dries up (it's a bit on the muddy side at the moment).

He said to bring in the flex plate that was part of the engine setup 
previously, and the flywheel and pressure plate.  For about $70 and a 
week, he said he can balance it all up for me.

All I have to do is pull the ZF to get at it all.  Seems that while I'm 
in there, maybe I should replace the flywheel and clutch with something 
even better.  But then again, what I have in there now is only a few 
years old.  Stock heavy flywheel and a Mcleod clutch.  I should probably 
stick with what I have.

Besides, if I'm going to do the deed this year, I'll need new tires and 
maybe a new carb.  Hopefully gas prices stay low.  :)
